Take The Elf Emote Not Awarded At Completion
Epic Games acknowledged that there is an issue with awarding of the Take The Elf Emote and that it will be awarded by early 2019. The delay in awarding caused some players to complain about it.
We have identified an issue with the Take the Elf emote not being granted to players after completing the Day 8 challenge. We will grant this reward to all players that earned it early next year.
