Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.

Elves have forests to protect. Dwarves their mines. Men their fields of grain. Even trees have to worry about the soil beneath their roots. But we Harfoots have each other. We're safe.
Marigold Brandyfoot in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Season 1
The doom of the Elves is to be immortal, to love the beauty of the world, to bring it to full flower with their gifts of delicacy and perfection, to last while it lasts, never leaving it even when ‘slain', but returning – and yet, when the Followers come, to teach them, and make way for them, to ‘fade' as the Followers grow and absorb the life from which both proceed. The Doom of Men is mortality, freedom from the circles of the world.

8When a person is lucky enough to live inside a story, to live inside an imaginary world, the pains of this world disappear. For as long as the story goes on, reality no longer exists.
It's like we talked about, you control this world. Let the pain go, let the hurt go, let the guilt go. What you are imagining right now, that world you control. That place can be as real as any pain.
Dr. Vera Gorski in Sucker Punch
6For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.
I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
I think as you grow older your christmas list gets shorter, because the things you want can't be bought.

All the magic of December

All I wanna do is to follow it around
Cause everybody wishes it was Christmas all year 'round
