It's still awesome. I don't care for the whole elf thing but I like this one.

Wonder if it comes with a Tupperware tea cup?

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!

What is the purpose of an elf on a shelf?

Remember when you were little and your parents would say santa is watching?

Well these are Santa's little tattle tales.

People find it fun. I just like this one cause it's Si.

It is not a tattle tale. It's an ELF. Santas helper. He/she is there to help Santa watch the kids. Also he's a go between. The Elf can talk to adults but not kids. Our elf, Fred, leaves nightly notes. He praises SS for the things he does well and reminds him to keep up with other things like cleaning his room. SS leaves him a note at the end of the day. We've saved all the notes SS has ever written. SS has all the elf letters saved.

Ok. That is how I see it. Not trying to start a fight. It is our first real full time post for here.

I have my reasons for not caring for it.

But I like this one. I can see this one geared more to adults, older kids.

So it's okay for older kids and adults to have fun but not little kids?

That is NOT what I am saying.

I am not going to argue with you about this.

You like it. You use it. I don't and I didn't.

Big deal.

This was meant to be a light hearted thread.

If you want to argue. You will be arguing by yourself.

You read evil into things that aren't there. It's an elf. It's cute. We haven't always had one. But once we found it we started using it. It's a beautiful tradition that will bring back many memories.

That Duck Dynasty family remind me of my own family. Minus the beards.

Like them. Down to Earth.

This little guy would be cute for some of the hunters I know. They would love it.

I didn't know about it until my DD was grown. It would have been a fun tradition for us.

I think this might be our last year with our elf. We told SS that when he stops believing our elf will go to a family with a child that believes. Last year he "pondered" several scenarios in which the elf might not be real. We made him write a letter to the elf assuring him he believed.

We had an elf that sat on our mantel or in the tree every year for a long time when I was growing up. But he was just decoration. I don't know what happened to it.

Thing is he looked a lot like the elves used for the Elf on the Shelf thing. That was in the 70's and mom said she had him a long time before that.

I think this Elf on the Shelf thing grew out of those vintage elves.


He looked a lot like this.

Most of the posts on Pinterest show him causing trouble.

I actually think we had some of those but tiny and they hung on our tree. They were ornaments. They always looked creepy to me. Our elf is cute.

My grandmother had a tiny cottage on her mantel at her house and went we went to visit her the fairy in the house would leave us letters in written in invisible ink with directions on where she had hidden our little gifts. We always had a ball.

I'd love to create silly ways to find him each morning.

 Sometimes Fred causes trouble.  Most of the time he does something silly.  One time he was eating elf sized donuts and drinking milk.  He got caught kissing the tree angel, swinging from the chandelier, and all kinds of things.  He once peed red in the toilet.  He taped balloons and streamers over SS's door so he'd have to break out when he got up in the morning.  Fred wound himself up in the streamers.  SS has a stuffed dog named Charlie.  Fred and Charlie watch movies together, read books together, eat popcorn together, and do all kinds of things.

My sil doesn't want my grandbaby believing in santa but my daughter sees nothing wrong in it. She wanted to do elf on the shelf and he doesn't. I found a angel on the shelf and gave it to dd for Christmas last year so dgd can have some fun too!
