This cartoon is hilighting all of the layoffs that are happening this holiday season due to the economic recession. Santa represents the CEOs or upper management, and the elves represent the employees that are being let go. It is extremely unfortunate that many people are losing their jobs so close to the holidays, so the cartoon is meant to be funny, but also to make people think about the state of the United States. The pink slips the elves are holding represent a discharge notice (printed on pink paper) in an employee's pay envelope to notify the worker of his or her termination of employment or layoff.

haha, this one's pretty funny; though, like you said, it's really unfortunate that so many people are losing their jobs this time of year.
