\"ed_zachary\"He is not your every day elf<\/a>. He is a little cantankerous, a little edgy and sometimes a bit, well, impatient. He is also absolutely brilliant. When the more dubious kids out there ask the really tough questions, nobody can explain the mysteries of Santa<\/a> Claus better than Elf<\/a> Ed. As Ed likes to say, when you want it Ed Zachary right, he’s your guy. But we must warn you. Elf<\/a> Ed doesn’t pull any punches. We wouldn’t recommend getting smart with him. He’s very old. And he doesn’t like people who think they are smarter than he is. Elf<\/a> Ed writes regular columns for the North Pole<\/a> Gazette. We reprint a few classics here every year.<\/em><\/p>\n
