Because some - and often, most - assembly is required. I guess some elves are toy-makers, who craft their wares in 14,000 pieces that must be put together with allen wrenches (yuck!) and 35,002 screws, and some elves are the putter-togetherers, who have to take those 14,000 bits and assemble them into something recognizable that a kid would want to play with.
How did I come to this realization? Well, I watched as a couple of earthly elves fashioned an incredible train table out of a gazillion pieces and a 250-page instruction booklet. OK. I exaggerate, but not by much. Witness the process and results:
Elves, disguised as parents, employ their best carpentry skills in the race to have the train table ready by Christmas morn.
Hm. Does this thing look like the picture?
I need 2 E tracks and a B. Or is it 2 B tracks and an E?
Pay-off for the 2-hour assembly process: one thrilled little feller!
Here's hoping your Christmas involved both toy-makers and assemblers. Merry Christmas to all!
