👔 Classic Dad Joke

What did the elf say was the first step in using a computer?

First, you log on!

Why This Joke Works

"Log on" means to sign into a computer — but in Christmas and elf terms, a log is a piece of wood burned in the fireplace (like the classic Yule log). The elf's first step involves logging on, which in their world might literally mean dragging a log over. The tech-meets-holiday crossover is clean and the pun works without any stretching.
