When Does Elf on the Shelf Arrive?

The Elf on the Shelf typically returns Thanksgiving evening with the kids discovered Elf in the morning. However, the best thing about Elf is you can personalize this Christmas tradition to your family. If a few weeks works best for your home or a longer period too, that is okay. There is no rule for when should Elf on the Shelf arrive.

Why is my Elf on the Shelf not coming?

If your child is asking where did my Elf on the Shelf go, begin this process for time delay. Explain that more and more elves are trying to get out of the North Pole and there is a long line for receiving magic and exiting the Norths Pole Customs line. Ask your to write Santa. They can ask Santa for Elf to be moved to the front of the line for arrival. You can also explain the need to be patient.

When Elf does arrive, it is going to be great because we have some amazing Elf on the Shelf Arrival Ideas.

Elf on the Shelf Welcome Letter

One way to welcome Elf on the Shelf into the home is with an Elf welcome letter. This set of 6 Elf on the Shelf Arrival Letters includes three ideas for the first night as well as three Elf letters that are blank to use later in the year.

That is my master bedroom window and I opened that window every day just to feel like I was outside. It was a miserable time. Also, I was responsible for 54 new creative Elf on the Shelf Ideas so photo shop and ordering Christmas Tradition Elf Accessories and Props on Etsy was my thing!
