For decades the Myer Christmas windows have brought light and joy to the City of Melbourne. Myer’s Christmas ad this year once again features its band of quirky characters Elf, Reindeer, Mouse and Angel.
This year the department store has also created a children’s book based on the characters called ‘The completely and utterly, absolutely perfect Christmas, written and illustrated by H C Floren.
Elf, getting frustrated with his chums, goes in search of another set of decorations to spend the holidays with. He meets various Christmas decor tribes; the giant street decorations, the hectic neon lights backed with tinny music, the standoffish Scandinavian decorations, and the home-made kids decorations.
None of them are quite right for Elf, so he makes his way back home to Reindeer, Mouse and Angel.
“You guys are nuts, but you're my kind of nuts,” he realises.
