Elf on the Shelf – Ideas, Information and Calendar

Oh, hello DECEMBER!! It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year!

But as moms, we all know that feeling… you wake up and realize you didn’t move the ELF!!

You no longer have to worry about that after today. Because we have a special little something JUST for you!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Elf on the Shelf, it is a FUN tradition I highly recommend you start this year with your family! It is SO fun to see the magic in the little’s eyes!

“The Elf on the Shelf® is a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts an elf and gives it a name, the elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to tell Santa Claus about all of the day’s adventures. Each morning, the elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the fun. Children love to wake up and race around the house looking for their elf each morning.

There are two simple rules that every child knows when it comes to having an elf. First, an elf cannot be touched; Christmas magic is very fragile and if an elf is touched it may lose that magic and be unable to fly back to the North Pole. Second, an elf cannot speak or move while anyone in the house is awake! An elf’s job is to watch and listen.

Elves typically appear in their families’ homes at the beginning of the holiday season (around Thanksgiving in the U.S.). On Christmas Eve, the elves return to the North Pole with Santa Claus–until next year!”
