Our Elf On A Shelf

Let the fun begin! Our elf has finally appeared after spending this last year at the North Pole with the big guy that wears the red suit. We received our elf last year on the front porch- the packaging had stamps all over from all parts of the country so it was clear it had traveled far. The kids promptly named him "Tiny Timmy" and had fun finding him all over the house each morning. You see, this elf is special. He watches during the day and reports back to Santa all the good (and some not so good) events to Santa each evening. He cannot be touched or he will lose his powers so where ever Tiny Timmy lands- he must stay- no one in the house wants to be responsible for his departure!! What fun we had with him last year...I think every household should have one of these. It has changed our holiday season into a shear delight! Of course, the kids love him and Jerrod and I think it's pretty awesome too!!

Bailey, Emma and Jackson have been asking about him for weeks now. They all squealed with excitement when they woke up this morning to find him in the kitchen. Yeah!! Where will he end up tomorrow morning? It's anyone guess.
You may be lucky enough to get your elf this year too! I sure hope so. If one doesn't land on your front porch, you can still purchase (adopt) one at a local store. I have found the set at Hallmark stores, gift shops and of course, online. Just type in "elf on the shelf gift set" and do a google search. It comes with a book that explains all the details and allows you space to personalize the book with the name you give your elf and the date you received him. So special. You won't be disappointed!!
