Elf on the Shelf

Last year, I got really tired of moving Crystal, our Elf, 24 times. So this year, I only did it for 12 days. I gotta say, I enjoyed that a whole lot more. Here is what our Elf was up to in the 12 days leading up to Christmas.

Gave the kids a copy of The Polar Express book

Decorated the tree with underwear

Ate the kids' gingerbread houses because the kids shouldn't eat that much candy, anyway

Delivered a note from Santa

Had a snowball fight

Invited some friends over for a slumber party

Trapped the kids in their room (Kendall had a sleepover in the boys' room)


Shot a few pigs
 
Played Candy Land with a few friends

Went fishing

Made himself a true elf snack

Left a goodbye note...

Those are awesome ideas.
I've been weary about starting the Elf. Frederic wanted to this year. I just have so much to think about during this season (and now with a Christmas time Birthday), I don't think I could keep up. But I like your idea of only doing it for 12 days. Maybe we'll copy for next year. :)
