Christian Elf on the Shelf Alternatives

If Elf on the Shelf isn’t your thing, first we say – “why not!?!” Ha, ha. Really no judgment. We have some Christian Elf on the Shelf Alternatives for your holiday season.

The most popular is the Shepherd On the Search Advent Activity Set from DaySpring.

Embark on a family journey and find Christ in Christmas! During the Advent season, begin reading the story of your shepherd’s timeless journey in a beautifully illustrated interactive children’s book, and let the fun begin every day as you hide your shepherd and your children find him in a new place along the search

Also take a look at The Little Christmas Angel by Peggy Barons.

This boxed gift set contains one hardcover color illustrated children’s book, with beautifully designed Christmas Angel doll. The story begins in ancient Bethlehem, but quickly moves into modern times taking the reader on a lively journey with a little angel, right into their own home.

Similar to an advent calendar and a blend of Elf on the Shelf, the Christmas Star From Afar has a hidden star to create a fun and challenging hide-and-seek Christmas game for kids of all ages.

This Gift Set includes soft cover book and 15 piece wooden nativity set additional items – The Star From Afar Stable Animals and Scripture Cards! To play, Set up your nativity. Hide the Star every night. Once your children find the Star move all Three Wise Men to its location.

Also take a look at The Shepherd’s Treasure Book. An advent calendar that eventually brings the gift of Jesus.

The Shepherd’s Treasure is a faith based countdown to Christmas. During the month of December, children follow their Shepherd on a fun, interactive treasure hunt to find the true meaning of Christmas. On Christmas morning, they find their Shepherd kneeling before the greatest treasure of all time: JESUS!

You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch Lyrics

If you are wondering where you heard the phrase Stink, Stank, Stunk – quickly look through the You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch Lyrics. It’s the three words that best describe Mr. Grinch.

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart’s an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders, you’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
Given a choice between the two of you I’d take the seasick crocodile!

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You’re a nasty-wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
“Stink, stank, stunk!”

You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You’re the king of sinful sots
Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super “naus”!
You’re a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
You’re a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

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.
