Elf on the Shelf is just getting kids use to the idea of being monitored creepy

It’s not really geared to the kids behaving. It’s just something fun to get the kids in the Christmas spirit.
You both sound like shitty rents.

So this women and her husband think they are better than others because they deprive their kids the magic of Christmas?

I'll never do elf on a shelf because I think it's social conditioning to big brother, but Santa is cool for a couple of years.
This article would be way better if the writer wasn't so stuck up their own arse.

At first i was wondering who wrote this stupid article, then i realized it was KB... didn’t realize she was married though
Also, there are some fricking selfish people in this thread (I’m guessing that 95% of the people who are against ‘santa’ don’t have children)
Why do i need credit from my 3 year old for buying him presents? He doesn’t understand wtf goes into buying everything, nor do I expect him to.. every other day out of the year that he gets something, he says thank you, so it’s not like we are raising him to be a selfish little bastard... this is just another example of people (adults) trying to make something about themselves

These people sound like the Griswold’s neighbors in Christmas Vacation. I can almost guarantee that the kids of parents like these will go overboard with Santa stuff with their own kids.
My younger kid thinks he has it figured out and has said that he knows there’s no Santa. I told him that when he stops believing, he stops receiving. That shut him down pretty quickly.
The kids like Santa and the Elf. When they get old enough to figure it out, they appreciate the time and effort that their parents put into making Christmas a little more special.

My parents did Santa but told the youngest fromnthe start it was a fairy tale.

Much like many other things, I have no problem with people who don't celebrate Santa in their homes.
I do however have a problem when these people feel the need to tell other families how wrong they are for lying to their children or tell other people's children that santa isn't real.

How is it that the tradition isn't that the presents are from Jesus Christ? Wouldn't that make more sense, seeing as it is a Christian holiday, than does the presents having come from some secular Santa? ( Is Santa even Christian? ).
Seems it would be a good way to make Jesus Christ appealing to kids. I mean, the dude not only loves you but gives you Xbox's and iWatches. And isn't that worthy of lifelong devotion in gratitude?

I wish Santa would come back into my house.
The 6 year old just ain't buying it. Damn near rolls his eyes at us every time we mention Santa. Mumbles "not real" and walks away.
It's kind of sad, actually. Thought it was supposed to last longer than that.

Hmmm what a great mom.
She won't let the children enjoy Santa Claus or the stupid Elf because they aren't real...
But she forces her religion, which isn't real, upon those same children?
Yeah that is awesome

I was at a holiday party the other night when a friend sighed and declared, “Gotta go home and move the elf.”
I couldn’t help but shake my head a little and sigh to myself, admittedly with an air of righteousness, knowing we’d never say that in my home. My husband didn’t understand the reference, so I explained to him what “Elf on a Shelf” was, to the best of my knowledge.
“So, basically they use scare tactics and bribery to get their kids to behave?” he paraphrased. And I nodded, again with a slight air of disbelief.
quote:
Meanwhile, in our home, my husband and I work very hard to encourage our kids simply to be good for – to quote a popular Christmas song – goodness’ sake. The notion of encouraging my kids to be good in order to make Santa’s “nice” list really troubles me. Not only does it completely undermine my authority, but it’s pure extrinsic motivation.
quote:
But how kids think of Santa Claus represents, for me, all that is not Christmas spirited: receiving instead of giving, greed instead of gratefulness, idle wanting instead of active contributing. And encouraging my children to write letters to him or make Christmas lists or be good because he’s watching encourages all the wrong things for me. I want whatever goodness does come out of my children to be for the right reasons. I want them to be people who are simply good and kind and honest, as I try to be (well, most of the time:).
quote:
This year, now that my daughter is of an age where she could truly believe in Santa and be consumed by the magic and thrill of believing, I wasn’t willing to let him come down our chimney.
My friend with the ever-watching elf thinks I am cruel. She thinks it’s truly sad that I have robbed my children of the magic of the holiday. But I don’t see it. My kids still enjoy reading about Santa – as much as they enjoy reading about Harold and his purple crayon or The Cat in the Hat, magical characters who are not actually real but still capture a child’s imagination. My kids will still wake up on Christmas morning to see a sparkling tree with a modest bounty of presents underneath.
The lights will still twinkle and the decorations still shine. No one needs to sit on a shelf or a keep a list for us. The day will be special simply because it’s Christmas – even if Santa skips our house.
OK. I just hope this a-hole doesn't tell his/her kids to believe in Jesus

Things are getting serious with my gf, and we've been talking about stuff like that.
We've come to the conclusion that as Christians we will abstain from Santa as real, and just promote him as a fun fairytale that's not true (helping to keep some of the "magic", while also not lying). In her home region of Alsace France, they have a few other Christmas characters like Hans Trapp the slapper who slaps kids. All the kids know he's not real, but they love to play along.

Believing in Santa made for some great times as a child, I wouldn’t rob those memories from my kid just because I want credit for the gifts.
