The girls are getting Elf on the Shelf pajamas for their Christmas PJs.
We bought SS and his sister matching ones for Christmas.

A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
Fred Strikes Again! Hey Czech, what do you think of my table runner?

Ha! That is so cute! (Fred, not the runner. the runner is very nice).
Czech made me that table runner a couple years ago for Christmas! I love it! It stays on my table.

If I take it off the kids get upset! The doily is there too!

DD wants an Elf. I should buy it and make her do it for me!
You should buy the elf and the reindeer and you two could mess with each other!

And the doily is still white! That doesn't happen in our house!! I'm constantly washing and bleaching ours.
I had forgotten what I gave you, thank you for sharing and reminding me.
No problem. It fits the table perfectly! And DN made me a candle centerpiece that fits perfectly on top of the doily! If I move it for any reason that's the first thing the kids ask when they come in. Where's the stuff for the table?

We're having a sleepover tonight, and their elf is going to show up here.
I did that once. Problem was when the kids are picked up the other mother can't take their Elf, the kids will notice. It has to be transported under the cover of night.

I'm sure LL can come up with a plausible story.
Flight training maybe?
His brother did it.

Sounds like you have a new Christmas tradition at your house. Czech decorations!
I'm glad your kids like the gifts.
We do, we do!
What's with all these elves? In our house the rule is an adult can touch the elf if necessary. Children cannot.

I think we need to enact that rule.
Anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to relocate Fred. They are not allowed to play with Fred but he can be touched as necessary to move Fred out of precarious places or enable a cleaning up process. Then Fred is either moved to a branch of the tree, if it is up, or placed on the bar out of the way. Fred often sits at the dinner table and has to be moved so we can eat.

Fred returns bringing an unnamed Reindeer. The Reindeer brings a Fred Christmas ornament filled with little with sweet tart snowflakes! You will notice they rode in on sleds handcrafted for them by someone who is crafty enough to make sleds with glue guns!

My newest rule is to post all my elf stuff here so you all can see what I do! We got the reindeer mostly because I wanted it. Turns out the reindeer gets its magic from a childs touch! Kids are SUPPOSED to touch the reindeer!
You are smart for instilling the new rule! Elves need a helping hand from adults sometimes. They are, after all, children.

I'm crafty. And I'll see their parents a couple of times today.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Ok warning. During the night, the elf fell back, his hat dangling a hair's width from the toilet bowl water. peppermint's red stripe washed away. Girl's were still thrilled though. So if you do that one make sure you don't just tape the legs to the toilet seat, need to secure the back too. Sigh...

So this is what I started with. Along with a gluten free white cake mix.
And here is what we ended up with after they had a hot cocoa party. You'll notice that they are all passed out with a bottle of Pepto around.
