To Boycott Sears because they are going out of business and so many Santa Claus and elf's will be out of work in the future.

Both words survived into Middle English and were active there, the former as elf (with the vowel of the plural), plural elves , the latter as elven, West Midlands dialect alven (plural elvene ).

Elfs is a common spelling error for elves. Since the singular root is elf, English users who are unfamiliar with pluralization rules might use this backformation under the assumption that elf forms a plural by adding a simple -s, like many other nouns.
In J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, elves are immortal, and have a roughly similar appearance to humans. In most adaptations, they are portrayed with pointed ears and long hair. Tolkien freely exchanged elves for elf's and refused to explain why.

Elves is the plural. Period. And no matter what, there is no fucking apostrophe in it.

Who made you the God of English usage. Even in France - France has one official language, the French language. The French government does not regulate the choice of language in publications by individuals, but the use of French is required by law in commercial and workplace communications.
The United States has never had an official language. Anyone is free to write English any frigging fucking Goddamn way they chose tooo.
