You’ve Been Elfed Printable

Printable Youve Been Elfed on the Shelf Christmas Tradition for Neighbors

Well this Elf idea strays from the traditional Elf on the Shelf Ideas. Try something different by incorporating the Christmas spirt into your neighborhood with this You’ve Been Elfed Free Printable. It’s the you’ve been booed Christmas version with the magic of a North Pole helper.

See You’ve Been Boo-ed Halloween Version.

What is You’ve Been Elfed?

You’ve Been Elfed (also known as You’ve been Jingled) is a twist on the Holiday tradition of You’ve Been Booed. Consider it the Christmas version of the Halloween boo game. Is a great way to spread Christmas Cheer in the neighborhood during the holiday season. Each participant’s home will get a small basket of treats on the doorstep as the game spreads.

You've Been Elfed on the Shelf Printable Neighborhood Tradition for Christmas

You’ve Been Elf-ed is often done in a neighborhood or office with co-workers. For the neighborhood, drop off a small gift at a neighbor’s door step and in the process ring the doorbell and run. Don’t worry, this ding dong ditch will keep you off the naughty list, as you are playing the role of a holiday fairy. Just like a secret Santa, leave behind a lovely gift on the step.

In this fun game, a neighborly holiday tradition is formed and the process continues. Then the gift receiver then becomes the gift giver. They hang the Elf sign “we’ve been elfed” on their front door, the ring the door bell of another neighbor leaving behind a fun surprise of holiday treats. The fun Christmas Neighborhood Tradition is played down the street creating happy holidays for everyone.

You’ve Been Elfed Instructions

You’ve Been Elfed directions are simple.

Santa’s Elf has come to town
to leave some goodies, you now have found.

Your mission is to spread Christmas cheer,
to friends and family far and near.

Fill a container full of treats and fun,
drop it on the porch and run.

Post this Christmas sign on your door,
to show others an elf has been there before.

Another Christmas tradition has begun,
Thanks for sharing this holiday fun.

Merry Christmas & Happy Elf-ing!

Weve Been Elfed Printable and Youve Been Elfed Christmas Tradtion

The Elf poem explains the Christmas game. Put together a small holiday gift box or bag and drop it on a neighbors porch. Ring the bell and run. You can leave behind a “We’ve been elfed” sign for your neighbor to hang on their door or the “you’ve been elfed” printable has a URL link to print their own You’ve & We’ve Been Elfed signs. Hanging a “we’ve been elfed sign” alerts a future secrete Santa to not leave a small Christmas gift at that home.

Note: For the sake of sharing the spirit of getting Elf-ed, we photographed with our Elf on the Shelf Doll. You do not need a Scout Elf to Elf a neighbor or friend.  This Elf on the Shelf Poem is simply for sharing the Elf on the Shelf Tradition with other families (without using the Scout Elf doll.)

What to Put in a You’ve Been Elfed Bag

Wondering what to put inside a You’ve Been Elfed gift bag? Make it merry and bright but keep your Christmas gift basket simple for your recipient. This is about staying frugal and low-cost while spreading holiday cheer.

Gift Christmas Candy, make Christmas Cookies, make an Edible Christmas Gift, share a Christmas Book, heck use leftover Halloween candy for all we care. You can even visit the Dollar Tree, Walmart or the Target dollar section.

Just show some Christmas cheer by participating in this Christmas tradition and getting the whole neighborhood involved.

Elf on the Shelf Explained

As a reminder, we share daily Elf on the Shelf Ideas in the month of November and December. You can see all of our Elf on the Shelf Ideas in our Master List of Ideas.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has an Elf on the Shelf book and a Scout Elf doll. The book tells the story of an Elf who is sent by Santa from the North Pole to watch over a boy/girl or family. The elf visits daily during the Christmas season returning back to the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. It is very important the Elf is not touched or Elf’s 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.
