Toy-making Elves in Santa's famous workshop are up in arms at the Kringle family's refusal to budge on their policy regarding gendered dress codes.

One elf, who chose not to be identified, complained, "damn fatass took my high heels away! Does my fuscia stole really get in the way of my hammering choo-choos together? I don't think so."

Another anonymous elf argued, "it's just as bad for the girls. These skirts are simply embarrassing. I'd rather wear a cat's vet-cone on my bum, to be perfectly honest."

One resigned elf opined, "it's not as if ALL our costumes aren't totally retarded anyway."
