Airports Are Waging an Epic "Elf on the Shelf" Meme Battle and It's Hilarious
We see your "Snoop on a Swoop" and raise you a "Thor on a Condor!"
We all know about Elf on the Shelf, the American Christmas tradition inspired by the 2005 children's picture book by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell. But, this week, the Twitter account of Vancouver Airport created their own rhyming challenge, starting with… Lil Wayne on a Plane!
