Elf on The Shelf

On December 2nd we started the Elf on the Shelf tradition. The Elf on the Shelf tradition is the very special tool that helps Santa knows who to put on the Naughty and Nice list. Santa sent one of his elves into our house so that he can observe Noah and Leah's behavior and then rapport back to Santa at night. This little Elf that we named "Elfie" has special magic and this year he became a part of our family Christmas tradition for all the years to follow. Elfie is an excellent listener and observer, although he cannot be touched, or else he may lose his magic, he will always listen and relay messages back to Santa. Each night, after we all go to bed, Elfie uses his magical Christmas powers to fly back to the North Pole. Once there, the elf will make his daily report to Santa. Before we wake up each morning, Elfie will fly back to our home from the North Pole. Since all elves like to play games we never find Elfie in the same spot! After only one day we found Elfie hidden in the tree and Noah noticed him right away! He is completely enthralled by him and his Christmas magic! The second day we found Elfie hanging upside down in our pantry drinking Noah's water using a straw :) Nevertheless, elves love to play hide-and-seek with their families so we are prepared for everything :) On Christmas Eve, Elfie will listen for Santa’s bell and then fly back to the North Pole until the next season. So this is our Christmas tradition from now on. This is going to be so fun!

Our Elfie :)
