And I didn’t think this movie could get any better.
We’re all familiar with the classic Christmas film Elf correct?

Well strap in folks, because a small detail from the end of the film has recently been brought to my attention and we need to discuss it.

If you haven’t seen the film in a while (shame on you) let me refresh your memory. Buddy, the son of Susan Wells and Walter Hobbs, was given up for adoption and then as a baby snuck into Santa’s bag one Christmas and was raised in the North Pole.

When Buddy learns he was adopted and not technically an elf, he’s shown a picture of his real parents which is when he learns his mother is already dead.

So Buddy goes to New York, meets his dad, pisses off some businessmen, eats a lot of sugar, saves Christmas and also falls in love with a blonde Zooey Deschanel.

Finally at the end of the movie Buddy has a child of his own, and we see her name is Susie which, unless you’re a heartless creature and have some other cynical explanation, means Buddy named her after his mother Susan.

Basically that’s the sweetest thing and I’m an emotional mess because I love this movie so much and now it’s even better.
