Years before humorist David Sedaris became a celebrated writer, he did a short stint as a Christmas elf at a Macy's department store in New York.
His time as Santa's helper was less than merry and bright -- but it would go on to change his life.
Sedaris wrote about the dark side of holiday spirit in the Santaland Diaries, a sardonic collection of somewhat-exaggerated stories based on his travails as Crumpet the elf.
