18th December – Answer The Telephone Like ‘Buddy The Elf’ Day.
This delightful day is a reference to the Will Ferrell film Elf, about a human boy who hitched a ride with Santa to the North Pole and was raised amongst the elves.
Saying “hello” on the phone was started by Thomas Edison, who was so surprised that Alexander Graham Bell’s invention worked. He couldn’t say the official telephone greeting “Ahoy-hoy” and instead kept exclaiming “hello”!
Instead of the old dreary Victorian term for expressing surprise, today you get to answer the phone by saying: “Buddy the Elf, what’s your favorite color?”
