Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. There are endless ways to celebrate with friends and family.
The Elf on the Shelf is a fantastic way to celebrate the silly season with your children, grandchildren, brothers or sisters. The Elf on the Shelf has officially landed Down Under. Have you heard of this cheeky little character? If you haven’t then I think you’re going to love him/her.
For those who aren’t familiar, The Elf on the Shelf is a
little elf that comes to your home in December and watches your children
every day to make sure they are behaving well. Your elf can be a
sweetie or it can be naughty too, it is all up to you.
Arriving in a beautifully large box the elf is tucked in neatly and is accompanied by a delightful picture book. The picture book is the key. In wonderful rhyme and rhythm your new little elf introduces himself and the magic of Christmas.
The idea is quite simple. First, an elf cannot be touched. Christmas magic is very fragile and, if an elf is touched, it may lose that magic and be unable to fly back to the North Pole. Second, an elf cannot speak or move while anyone in the house is awake. An elf's job is to watch and listen. Elves typically appear in their families’ homes at the beginning of the holiday season. On Christmas Eve, the elves return to the North Pole with Santa Claus... until next year.

The elf belongs to your household forever. You officially name him, register him online to receive a letter from Santa, and then bring him out each year. You can choose a boy elf, girl elf, dark skin, light skin elf.

Statement from 'The Elf on the Shelf'
"The Elf on the Shelf is a special scout
elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and
nice lists. When a family adopts an elf and gives it a name, the elf
receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to
tell Santa Claus about all of the day's adventures. Each morning, the
elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the
fun. Children love to wake up and race around the house looking for
their elf each morning".
