Elf on the Shelf Book Only

Elf on the Shelf Book Only

It was a bit surprising for me to see the The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition Book only without the Elf on the Shelf doll and box. In fact, we know the Official Elf on the Shelf doll comes with the book and box, never alone and never in a color other than red!


What is the Elf on the Shelf Book?

The plot of the Elf on the Shelf book describes how Santa’s “scout elves” visit homes and watch over day to day happenings. The red elves leave to visit the North Pole every night and then go back to their assigned home each morning. By hiding in a new spot each morning, the scout elf plays an ongoing game of hide and seek with the family.

In order to get their magic, The Elf on the Shelf explains that scout elves get their magic by being named and being loved by a child. In the back of each book, families have an opportunity to write their elf’s name and the date that they adopted it. Once the elf is named, the scout elf receives its special Christmas magic, which allows it to fly to and from the North Pole.

But careful. Elf’s magic might disappear if the North Pole elf visitor is touched. So only one Elf on the Shelf rule must be followed – do not touch Elf. The story ends on Christmas Day with the Elf on the Shelf leaving to stay with Santa for the rest of the year until the following Christmas season.

Miniature Elf on the Shelf Book

You can get an Elf on the Shelf mini book printable  for both your child and Elf to have their very one elf! (Update: this Elf on the Shelf Book PDF free is no longer available.)

However, you can also grab a Free Miniature Elf on the Shelf Printable Story Book only on ElfontheShelf.com. Print your Elf on the Shelf Book PDF free and cut and gift to your miniature Elf doll.

Also purchase a miniature Elf on the Shelf Book. This is a plastic mini Elf on the Shelf book version and comes with a cute inflatable chair and buffalo plaid blanket.


Elf on the Shelf Doll Only

Like I shared above. It is rare for you to find a book to purchase alone. The same is true of finding an Elf on the Shelf doll only.

When you buy Elf on the shelf, there are some important features to look for. The Original Elf on the Shelf dolls come with a red Elf, a box, and a book. There are Imposter Elf on the Shelf Ideas everywhere, but the real Scout Elf will have a book and a box.

One official Elf doll you can get alone is the World’s Smallest Elf on the Shelf doll. We have some cute miniature Elf on the Shelf Ideas in our Master list.

Now you can also buy Elf on the Shelf dolls with different genders and ethnicities. See where to buy a Black Elf on the Shelf doll.


Unboxing Elf on the Shelf

You can see  a quick video of us Unboxing the Elf on the Shelf. Our set came with both the Elf on the Shelf book, doll, box and a gingerbread costume and house!

Christmas Eve Traditions

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

by Filed Under: Christmas, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 3 Comments

While it’s possible to fill Christmas traditions for the family in an entire season, these ideas focus on “The Night Before Christmas.” Follow these Christmas Eve Traditions to create family memories for years and even generations. What are you doing December 24th?

Christmas Eve Traditions

Christmas Eve Family Traditions

As our family has grown, traveling for family Christmas is occurring less frequently. It’s always nice to have extended family gathered around the Christmas tree, but the truth is, we pretty much take up the entire circumference.  With a complete family, I have found it important to carry on, and begin new, Christmas Traditions.

Our first Christmas tradition has been Elf on the Shelf. Our family began this tradition in 2013 and we have continued it every Christmas season since. Since Christmas Eve is usually a slow paced day, I decided to roll other family traditions into this day. This included reading Christmas books before bed, making a Birthday Cake for Jesus, going to look at holiday lights, finishing our advent calendar and wearing matching Christmas Pajamas.

While many of these Christmas Eve traditions are ones that a lot of families do, also take a look at some of these unique family traditions that might be a bit out of the box. Perhaps you will try something new and it will stick for years (and generations) to come.

What To Do Christmas Eve

With places closed, there are many things to do Christmas Eve. Focus Christmas Eve on family. Stay home and follow these creative ideas including visiting Christmas lights, family game night, a Christmas movie-a-thon, baking, Christmas crafts, activities and more.

Host a Family Game Night

Minute to Win It Games

Have a Family Game Night (or day.) Play reindeer games, just like Rudolph and his friends. A small Minute to Win it Game Night would be fun, or split into two teams for a Christmas Name that Tune family game night.

Christmas Name that Tune Printable Game & Holiday Traditions

You can also use this Christmas song list to go caroling. You can find your favorite Christmas carol on this list.

Christmas Traditions Party Games

These Christmas Party Games can be played with a large group or a small group. Whatever the party size, we think they will involve a lot of laughs!

Christmas Party Games List Printable PDF

Christmas Eve Baking

Cookie Decorating Station for Santa Claus

One baking idea for Christmas Eve is Cookie Making. Bake your favorite cookies from our Cookie Exchange Ideas or create a Cookie Decorating Station for the kids like this idea from Taryn Whiteaker. Don’t forget the hot chocolate!

Don’t forget the meaning for the season. Take a look at our Jesus Birthday Cake Ideas. Christmas Eve is a perfect day to bake Jesus a cake. You could even leave a piece of cake for Santa Claus.

Ginger Bread House Template and Hot Glue Gun Hack

Don’t make today challenging. Make a Ginger Bread House. You can purchase a Ginger Bread House Kit or make an easy graham cracker ginger bread kit.  Pull out some of that unwanted Halloween candy (since you won’t be tempted to eat it.)  Alice and Lois share the best glue is actually hot glue. They also share a graham crackers gingerbread house template. All the more reason to keep it for a pretty display.

Magic Reindeer Food Printable & Recipe

Christmas Eve is a great time to make Reindeer Food. It’s always nice to feed Santa cookies but did you know you can add this Magic Reindeer Food Recipe (from I Heart Naptime) to the yard. The reindeer will find it and stop off at your house with presents from the North Pole.

Grinch Dust Recipe

If you fear the rude green creatures that steal your gifts, you can also make this edible Grinch Dust Recipe from Premeditated Leftovers.

Christmas Eve Crafts & Activities

Christmas Movie List PDF

Curl up in a blanket, turn on a fire and watch the snow fall while enjoying a Christmas Movie-a-thon. Use this Countdown to Christmas Movie challenge with a merry binge-a-thon. Someone pop the popcorn.

Roll a Santa Christmas Eve Activity

This is a fun Christmas Eve activity for kids. Have them draw Santa Claus portrait from this Roll a Santa Dice Game.  You could leave this drawing out for Santa tonight with his cookies. Have your child add a note of thanks, like “thank you for visiting my house” or “thank you for the presents” or both! You can turn it into a Christmas card for Santa!

Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt Printable for Christmas Eve

Go Look at Christmas Lights. In our Printable Scavenger Hunts for Kids, we included this Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt from Happiness is Homemade. Snowflakes, candy canes, frosty, a nativity, light set to music…. see how many you can find.

Christmas Eve Gift Ideas

Have a Scavenger Hunt. Download this Elf on the Shelf Scavenger Hunt Printable PDF (you can use with or without a Scout Elves doll.) This Christmas scavenger hunt includes 22 rhyming clues you can omit or personalize to your home. Doing this as a Christmas Eve Tradition, have clues lead to a Christmas Eve gift box.

Christmas Eve Box with Printable Christmas Gift Tags

Do your kids always ask to open Christmas presents? Just one?! They can! One Christmas Eve gift idea you can continue every year – a Christmas Eve Box. We especially love this one from Dating Divas because it includes free printables for labeling your gift ideas. Christmas gift ideas include movies, snacks, a book and more – all in one family present box.

Matching Christmas Pajamas for a family

One item to included in your Christmas Eve gift box are Matching Christmas Pajamas for the Family. I would suggest buying these early, as sizes go quick the later in the season you shop. Some of my favorite places to buy matching pajamas are Target, Walmart, and Kohls, Often kids can only wear them one year, so try to keep your purchase low cost. You can see one year we had “pairs” of matching Christmas pjs.

31 DIY Christmas Gift Ideas

Things of other’s this holiday season. Bring the neighbors a bottle of wine with this free White Christmas Wine Gift Tag. Another idea is to make the neighbors Reindeer Rudolph Bottle Craft using beer or IBC root beer.

Legend of the Candy Cane Christmas Poem Printable

Share the Gospel with the Legend of the Candy Cane or this M&M Christmas poem. Share with neighbors and friends. This is a fun way to share the new testament Christmas story while gifting a sweet treat.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

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.
