Bernard The Arch Elf had decided over a thousand years ago that you were his favorite person. He loved you dearly, the closest thing to family he had.

You had always been there for him, your family bringing him into their home and making sure he had a warm bed and good food to eat. Your mother is who taught him how to baste a turkey.

And your mother's good cooking has been passed down to you, so you keep him well fed. That's why he's got a little bit of chub on him, he can't resist your food.

Every Christmas, he made you the most wonderful present, all you had to do was make the turkey and dessert. He'd do the rest.
