Here's a young lad absolutely winning his work 'ugly sweater competition' this festive period.
The shop worker went up against his boss in the contest. All he did was tape a plastic mirror to his chest. Simple is usually the best method.
The assistant manager, meanwhile, bust out a Christmas cardigan. A fine effort – but not a winning one.
Why is a Christmas jumper day at a random retail outlet interesting, we hear you ask. It's not. But look...look at the young man smiling in amusement at seasonal frolicking.
Doesn't he remind you of someone? His bushy brows, his cheeky smile, his splendid, swooping hair?
The magic sparkle in his eyes..
Yes! This young lad strikingly resembles Elf on the Shelf. At least that's what a couple of people have pointed out on Reddit.
After one user compared the worker to a "DreamWorks character," another pointed out that his first thought was "Elf on the Shelf," the popular figure who makes an appearance in some households over December.
Others agreed, with another commenter calling the look-a-like "uncanny".
I think we all need to take some time to reflect on this.
