I don’t want to see pics of well planned out elf on the shelf ideas. I want to see you just woke up, you forgot to move the elf, and your kid is coming down the stairs ideas.

It’s that time again. Some people celebrate the season with “Elf on the Shelf.” Our household observes the tradition of “Bruce on the Spruce,” also known as “Lee on the Tree.” Be good children. Bruce is watching. pic.twitter.com/tUHR8fFvZm

If you're sick of Elf on the Shelf here's a tip… have chicken on Christmas eve and use the bones to make an elf skeleton. Do a note from Santa telling you that the elf was very tasty and made a nice change from mince pies. Works a treat. You're welcome 😊 😆

Because, children, we abide by the ancient wisdom of your Italian ancestors who taught us that, truly, snitches get stitches.

Perhaps it’s older than we thought.

Elf on a Shelf actually started in ancient times when Noah was gathering all the animals for the flood. It was meant to make sure children behaved and it was called Shark on an Ark.
