Our favorite 'Elf' character has come to life.
Doug Henning of Eliot, Maine, met his biological for the first time, and decided he needed a good way to break the ice.
On Novemeber 24th, right before Thanksgiving, Doug's bioloigcal father flew into Logan and Doug greeted him in a special way.
Doug was in the full 'Buddy the Elf' costume from the Christmas movie, Elf, equipped with a cardboard sign reading 'Dad.'
“When he came out of the airport, he probably thought I was a lunatic,” Henning, 43, of Eliot, Maine, told Boston.com. “It was a really good way to break the ice.”
Doug was inspired to dress up for the meetup because of the holiday season, and because his biological father was gaining a son and a grandson - just like the movie!
