The way I look at it is I have 12 Christmas when they believe maybe less I can move an elf 30 nights once a year. I guarantee you will miss it, so soak it up now
Right.
I can't believe so many people are complaining about having to take 30 extra seconds per night to move an elf for their kids. It's annoying and stupid, but if it's something that your kid really enjoys, isn't that little time you spend moving it worth it?

Yea, its really not that hard. Been doing it for 3 years now and its never been an issue. Even brought it offshore with me last year. Had the guys help me come up with some really creative stuff. Shithead ended up running the crane at one point.
The look on my daughters face when she finds the Elf is priceless and I know it wont last forever. Bunch of cotton-headed ninny-muggins in here.

You dont have to go crazy with it every night. Just reposition it. My youngest asked it questions on a small dry erase board and it answers. She's happy with that.

Ours “wrote a letter” the first day he showed up saying he had to quarantine after every visit. Only showed up on Saturday mornings and usually had a small gift for each kid. Was a win/win in my book not having to figure out what to do with it every night! May continue that trend next year too
Your elf is a virtue signaling pussy.

I hate the elf. Thanks, MIL, for the gift you gave us 12 years ago that keeps on giving.
Hopefully, this was the last year.

Write a letter from Santa telling the youngest that he is gifting the elf to her/him to live with you all year long. That loving elf all year will help build up its magic and while the kids sleeps on Christmas Eve elf will make a trip back and help Santa for that night. The rest of the year elf will watch over and protect the child at night. My daughter has slept with hers for 4 years. No more elf on the shelf.

Oh, I agree. But, if he can save just one elf then it was all worth it!

My (X) Yankee mother in law sent my son an elf when he was one or so, we read the story to him and used it for 7-8 years but our elf was black.
Guess it was a good lesson in race relations

As an old grand paw, I love seeing the looks on my 4 & 2 year old grand kids' faces when I ask where the elf is when I visit at least once a week. They both literally lite up with excitement. Sad to see so much hate for something that brings so much fun to little ones.

The waterboarding of elf on the shelf.

I dont mind elf on the shelf in principle. My daughter gets so excited to see where Elfie moved to. Its the Facebook posts where people take it over the top that make me feel bad about how I do it.
Everyone on FB: Elf is vacationing in Switzerland with custom skis, hot chocolate, and a fire made out of ribbons with a little fan blowing to make it look like a real fire
Me: The elf is sitting in a bowl

know, famous last words and yadda yadda, but you couldn't pay me to do that stupid shite with my kid. Holidays have barely enough time to shop and cook and enjoy our few traditions already, last thing I need is another toy laying around the house and another chore before bed every night.
I said the same thing, and it still happened this year.
We kept it simple and just moved it to a new spot each day, no other nonsense.

My wife found a website that sells kits for like $50 and it comes with the supplies. We have not done it yet but if I ever get burnt out it would be worth it. Ours kids love their goddamn elf.

I stuffed our original elf, Rosie (no pics), in a hunting boot after last Christmas. As fate would have it, I could not find her this year. My wife (no pics), bought another one (it's a guy, so...). We then found the first. Now we have two elves.
I drew mean eyebrows on the new elf and started leaving small, elf-sized messes. The kids noticed the mean eyebrows and freaked out. Much more scared of the unknown than anticipated. I drug the elf identity mystery crisis out roughly 5 days before Rosie, the original elf, showed up and thanked them for finding her long lost brother.
The two weeks leading up to Christmas were easy with two elves.

It was such a relief last night putting the elf away for another year, then I realized it might be for the last time.
I’m going to miss that little pain in the arse if my kids outgrow him by next Christmas.

I will not do the elf on a shelf. Maybe I’m crazy but the idea of an inanimate object moving around the house on its own and watching me would have scared the shite out of me as a kid
