ABOUT CHRISTOPHER POP-IN-KINS 
The character, story, and tradition of Christopher Pop-In-Kins was created by Flora Johnson of Atwater, Ohio in 1985.  Since then, thousands of families have brought this special elf into their homes during the holiday season.  
According to her story, Christopher Pop-In-Kins dreams of visiting the "Children's World".  Santa grants the young elf's wish and makes Christopher the very first Children's Christmas Elf.  He is to "pop in" to children's homes in late November and stay until Christmas Eve.  Before Santa leaves on his yearly journey, Christopher must return to the North Pole with a report about each child. 
  
ABOUT THE MUSICAL 
Christopher is different from the other elves: he is too short, his ears are too big,...AND he dreams about more than just making toys.  (Something that is discouraged by the elder elves.)  When an evil elf tries to stop Christmas by melting the North Pole, Christopher is able to use his differences to save the other elves, Santa Claus, and the holiday.  In return, Santa grants Christopher's wish to visit the "Children's World" by appointing the special elf "the very first Children's Christmas Elf".
