Last year, I finally bit the bullet and started the Elf on the Shelf tradition at our house. For many years, I heard friends and parents in my classroom talking about the "Elf on the Shelf" and I had to find out what this was all about~ It was such an awesome feeling to see them look for the Elf every day and to actually try and listen to keep the Elf happy~
My Thoughts:
If your family consists of small children at home, Elf on the Shelf is a must-have for the holiday season. For over a year now, our kids have gone crazy for this Elf. During the holiday, it was first on their agenda to see where the Elf was visiting for that day.The kids learn real quickly how this works! Most importantly, we found that this tradition was a way to bring our family closer together during the spirit of the holidays!

Here is more about the Elf on the Shelf Tradition:
Have you ever wondered how Santa knows who is naughty and who is nice? The Elf on the Shelf – A Christmas Tradition is
the very special tool that helps Santa knows who to put on the
Naughty and Nice list. This interactive holiday hide-and-seek
tradition is perfect for children and families of all ages.
The
tradition begins when Santa sends his scout elves out to Elf Adoption
Centers. Waiting for their families to bring them home, these patient
elves hibernate until their family reads The Elf on the Shelf, gives
their elf a very special name, and registers their adoption online.
Once named, each scout elf will receive its Christmas magic and become a
part of the family’s Christmas each and every year.
Excellent
listeners and even better observers, these scout elves are the eyes
and ears of Santa Claus. Although they cannot be touched, or else they
may lose their magic, the elf will always listen and relay messages
back to Santa. Taking in all the day-to-day activities around the
house, no good deed goes unnoticed; these scout elves take their job
seriously.
Each
night, after the family goes to bed, the scout elf uses his magical
Christmas powers to fly back to the North Pole. Once there, the elf
will make his or her daily report to Santa and visit with elf friends
where they will tell stories about their beloved families, play with
the reindeer, and of course, sneak some of Mrs. Claus’ cookies!
Before the
family awakes each morning, their special scout elf will fly back to
their home from the North Pole. However, since these elves like to
play games, don’t expect to find them in the same spot! While some
like to hide in the freezer (probably because it reminds them of the
North Pole) and others prefer to sit on the fireplace mantle or hang
from the chandelier, these elves love to play hide-and-seek with their
families.
On
Christmas Eve, the scout elf will listen for Santa’s bell and then
fly back to the North Pole until the next season, wishing every girl
and each boy a Christmas of peace and a year full of joy.
