Christmas Hustle by john-wuller
'Twas three days before Christmas, when in the North Pole, Elfered discovered a tragedy lo. While preparing trees to ship to Elbonia, He found they had wrongly been shipped to Cal'fornia!
"Alas and alak!" he cried in dismay. "The children will lack trees upon Christmas Day!" While all of these thoughts were held in his mind, He found an idea he figured sublime.
He found the one elf who had stayed late at work, convinced him to stop his job on postalwork. The elf help Elfered to meet his big quota before he retired to ol' North Dakota.
And you are that elf, one week left to work! You are almost done with your job as a desk clerk. Finish this task and prepare to retire and help fix this situation oh most dire.
Use arrow keys for movement, and spacebar for interaction. Walk up to a vendor and purchase a seed, then walk over to the garden area to plant it. When the crop is fully grown, take it to the workbench to receive payment. Thanks for playing <3

There is a weird static sound that plays when you first start playing, not sure what's causing that but you may wanna give it a look!
I ended up enjoying the endless mode more. Thank you for making the game!
Aside from the character's movement and some confusing UX pieces (e.g. missing prices for tree/coal/cane seeds, day duration, reward amount), the game actually feels very nice when you get the hang of it.
Awesome game!
(Cool poem too!)
