Tate the Tardy Elf is a captivating story embracing individual differences in each other along with creating a heart warming story about Christmastime magic. As many families struggle with dividing the holidays between two households, children sharing their time with parents, co-parents, grandparents and/or step-parents, often times explaining the magic of Christmas becomes a challenge. If Old St. Nick visited Mom’s house on Christmas Day, how do we encompass the same magic of Christmas with Old St. Nick’s the day after Christmas at Dad’s house. Tate the Tardy Elf brings this magic alive with a fun, entertaining story of Old St. Nick’s visit on Christmas Day accompanied with a visit from Tate the Tardy Elf on the day after Christmas. Keeping the magic present, Tate the Tardy Elf allows children with two households to still believe when Old St. Nick makes two trips to their two separate households, once at Mom’s and once at Dad’s, giving both parents the opportunity to witness the Christmas morning joy when Old St. Nick (or Tate the Tardy Elf) makes another visit with his sleigh of toys for Christmas, or the day after.
