I don’t have any kids yet, but I know a few coworkers who do the elf on the shelf and they always are talking about how their kids love waking up each day to different mischevious things the elf did throughout the night. I can’t wait to have kids and be able to do some of these fun things! Pinterest has tons of elf on the shelf ideas!!
I have been seeing these everywhere this year. What exactly is this all about?
This is an excerpt from wikipedia…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elf_on_the_Shelf
Every day from Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, each family’s scout elf watches over the children and then at night, once everyone goes to bed, the elf flies back to the North Pole to report back to Santa about what activities, good and bad, took place throughout the day. Before the family wakes up each morning, the scout elf flies back from the North Pole and hides. By hiding in a new spot each morning around the house, the scout elf and the family play an on-going game of hide and seek. The Elf on the Shelf explains that elves get their magic by being named. In the back of each book, families have an opportunity to write their elf’s name and the date that they adopted it. Once the elf is named, the scout elf receives its special Christmas magic which allows it to fly to and from the North Pole. However, the magic might go if touched, so the rule for The Elf on the Shelf states: “There’s only one rule that you have to follow so I will come back and be here tomorrow: Please do not touch me. My magic might go, and Santa won’t hear all I’ve seen or I know.” Although families aren’t supposed to touch their scout elf, they can talk to it and tell it all their Christmas wishes so it can report back to Santa accurately.
This little elf on the shelf creates more imagination and creativity, not to mention laughter! I got one for my granddaughter last year and we had more fun with it, so much so, that we hated for Christmas to be over! We are dying to be able to start it up again this year and my granddaughter keeps asking about the Elf on the Shelf! I am so glad to see it for this great price, because I want to get one for great nephew! My granddaughter has been talking about it so much to him, that he wants to know why that Elf didn’t come to his house! So the tradition must go on! Thanks for the info!
