Dear Family, Santa ate too many Frosted Flakes for breakfast and I had to help make him a new belt before I returned back to you. I replaced the Frosted Flakes with snowflakes. I think his belt will fit now. XO

Dear Family, Don’t eat the Christmas decorations. My mom told me that I Hate some when I was young and got Tinselitis. XO

Dear Family, Last night when I went to the North Pole, the northern lights were very bright. I saw green, pink, blue, and violet. I wish I could show you. Make sure you look them up online. XO

Dear Family, Good morning. I am extra tired today. There was a long line at elf customs. There are so many elves visiting elf headquarters.  Be really quiet so I can rest. XO

Dear Family, what is your favorite thing about Christmas? Please share with me. I love the lights of the tree at night. XO

Mini Elf on the Shelf

Have you seen our World’s Smallest Elf on the Shelf? Scout Elf company released him last year and it is very cute and can come with a lot of cleaver ideas. It’s a fun way to introduce a Second Elf on the Shelf to the home.

The year the Elf on the Shelf mini was released, they sold out pretty quickly. If you want one, I suggest you pick it up now.

Elf on the Shelf Explained

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
