Ho ho ho! It’s time to spread some holiday cheer, because it’s Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf Day!
[jingle bells ring]
A day in honor of all the cheerful and jolly elves out there who love to spread happiness wherever they go.
The origin of this festive day is a bit of a magical mystery, with some claiming that it was created by a group of elves who were tired of the same old, boring phone greetings, and others saying that it was created by a mischievous North Pole prankster.
Regardless of how it was created, it’s a day that’s sure to bring a smile to at least someone’s face.
For those who aren’t familiar with Buddy the Elf, he’s the star of the 2003 holiday classic, “Elf”, and is known for his infectious enthusiasm and love for all things Christmas.
So, how do you answer the phone like Buddy the Elf, you may ask?
Easy peasy!
Just make sure to use lots of “Santa’s helpers,” “Sugarplum fairies,” and “Elf-speak.” And don’t forget to use your best Buddy-voice! “Buddy the Elf, what’s your favorite color?”
Before you go answering the phone like Buddy, there are a few things to keep in mind.
