Christmas gnomes are more popular in Scandinavia than Christmas elves and even regular gnomes, so sometimes people will have gnomes replace elves in Santa’s shop to make it more region specific.
But in folklore gnomes were always proud to do housekeeping. They repaired stuff, swept the floor, fed the animals and kept the home safe. If people didn’t respect them they’d take revenge, or worse, take their services somewhere else.
So I prefer to imagine the elves do all the toy producing, from design to carving to assembling to painting to sewing to packaging, while the gnomes keep the shop up and running, inventing and repairing the machines the elves use, cooking the meals for their breaks, cleaning and looking after the reindeer.

“No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn’t experience it all. There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That’s how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice.”
— Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters: A Novel (W.W. Norton, March 21, 2011) (via Wait - What?)

Lisa (Yisa) Marie
So the cause of Lisa's death has been revealed 5 months after her tragic passing😥. It was a bowel obstruction which is apparently a small mechanical block in the bowel region. This can develop after surgery however it was noted by the autopsy people (can't think of the word) that her prior gastric bypass surgery and bariatric surgery were not related.
I just thought you guys might like to know if you didn't already.
Just thought people would want to know. Gosh I still can't believe it's been 5 months. She's still as missed as when it first happened.
Rest in beautiful peace darling Lisa. Tell your daddy how much I love him.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I just want to genuinely feel missed, needed and loved - is that too much to ask for?
