Christmas-loving mum wears elf costume 24 hours a day to raise money for charity

A kind-hearted mother has taken her Christmas spirit one step further this year by dressing up as an elf 24 hours a day for charity. Charlie Brian, 35, will even wear the festive costume while she's out shopping and doing school runs, Leicester Mercury reports.

Charlie is raising money for Wishes 4 Kids this Christmas, a charity who support children and young people who are terminally ill or have been through some sort of life-changing physical or emotional damage. The mum-of-four, from Leicester Forest East, who's dubbed herself as 'Charlie the Elf' has a series of green elf outfits looked out to wear every day from November 28 to Christmas Day.

The dedicated Xmas fanatic has vowed to wear her Santa's little helper costume all day long for a month straight, regardless of whether she's on the school run, at the gym or even sleeping. Wishes 4 Kids has helped thousands of children across the country and provides them with amazing memories and experiences.
