Here's the truth about the Elf on the Shelf. After a few weeks of nightly Elf moving, I have to say, I LOVE this tradition. My kids love the elf. I love watching them find her every morning. Every day, they give me a full report of exactly how they think she got to the spots she's in. Every day they get to experience a little more magic. We will keep the elf.
However, our elf has not done the following: made messes, drawn on pictures, or done anything else that my decidedly free spirited and very naughty youngest would see and think "Great idea!" She has been involved in a 3-way with a dirty Koala and St. Nick, (It was a brief tryst and the children didn't see the debauchery), she has been caught scaling the christmas lights by the pass-through, she's visited many parts of the house but she still creeps me out! I'm not sure if I'll ever get over this, but one thing is for sure: the Elf is staying and will be back again next Christmas-maybe with a friend. What has happened to me?
