Elf on the Shelf

I've heard about the famous elf on the shelf that helps kids behave during the Christmas season. :) Ha! Sooooooo, needing all the help I can get around here and just for the fact that this idea is too cute, I had to go buy one today. The elf is this little, kind of creepy looking guy that sits somewhere in your house each day. When the kids get up each morning he will be hanging out in a different place on a different shelf possibly. He watches you all day and then travels to the north pole at night to report to Santa how you behaved that day. You can't touch the elf but you can talk to him. You also have to name your elf. Braden and Chris named ours "Elfy." Elfy came with a cute book that tells when he joined our family and what we named him. I'll let you know if Elfy tames any children in this house. Hee hee!
