A friend of mine just posted a picture of their Elf on the Shelf in his nightly pose for her son to discover tomorrow morning.

Her son is 10 yrs old and not, to my knowledge, in special ed. Shouldn't this elf shite end about 7 or 8? I'm pretty sure I was questioning the existence of Santa by 8 or 9. No way I would have bought into an elf every night for a month at age 10.

The kid doesn’t have to think it’s real for it to be fun

Santa is still gonna come to our house even if the kids know. It’s a wink and a smile and one day they’ll get to play the role as well. Just have fun with it. Days are gone all too soon

I think it’s a Facebook signal that she swings. Just like the wind home by the front door in the 70s. This is the 2020 windchime. Go bang it out for Christmas.

Lighten up let the kids mom and son enjoy it. He knows its not real. He probably enjoys the attention.

It’s kids and Christmas. Why do you want to pee in their cheerios?

Way better game than my karate teacher played with me at 10!

But yeah...he is a little old for that...while I was a little young for that (not that I wanted...THAT!)

what elf shite? The elf has to do his job to report to Santa. How is the kid going to get his presents otherwise?

People living in close quarters for years on end make up silly little rituals to break up the monotony.

This. My kids know it’s fake but we have fun with it. And now that they are in high school our elf got a friend named “Snoop on a stoop.”

how exactly does any of this come into being your business, or affect you? FYI you sound like a miserable prick
