Elf on the Shelf Hack You Won’t Forget
It was a number of years I went from soundly sleeping to bug eyed away with the reminder “I forgot to move the elf!” I also recall mornings where the kids woke and asked “Why did elf not move!?” Though, it’s only a few “short” weeks, it is hard remembering to move Elf. This Elf on the Shelf Hack is one you won’t forget – it literally will not let you forget!
It finally dawned on me, I needed the help of my electronic device. I set my phone each evening to have a calendar alarm and at 9 PM each night, my calendar would alert me EOTS. You can likely guess the acronym meaning – Elf on the Shelf. I figured having an acronym was less telling than spelling it out! This calendar reminder saved me for years. Often time, in anticipating of it going off, I had already moved Elf by the time it alerted me.
If elf cannot always move at night – let’s face it, sometimes some nights are just too much, use this Elf on the Shelf Letter to Older Kids. This lets your child know, sometimes elf moves happen during the day!

Elf on the Shelf 101
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
