Elf On A Shelf

[Vagus]

I have three, one for each of the babies in our family.
The elves are currently doing mischievous things....
Do you have any?

[bednobs]

we have 2 the naughtiest one helps the les naughty one be more naughty

[Vagus]

Yes, there’s always a more naughty one isn’t there? We have a ringleader, the other two copy.

[Mamyalynne]

They still going?

No, none in our family.

[Barsel]

Are these the ones from the pound shop?

[Vagus]

I’d never heard of them till last year, been going since 2005 apparently but as we’ve not had any small children in the family for a long time, we’re just catching up with all things child related.
Our elves are more cuddly than the traditional ones, but they’re still quite naughty.

I'd never heard of them - the little girl along the road started on about them. Another American import.

[bednobs]

You make ithe sound like a bad thing j.

[sherrardk]

Fortunately we’re past this sort of thing but I admire the people who’ve got young children plus the energy to think different situations up every night in the busy run up to Christmas - nearly finished me off occasionally remembering to be the tooth fairy.

Hey? No idea.

[NellieMay]

I think it's fun. But no young kids in our family. Our little town has a competition each year for kids to find all the elves hiding in the shops. One kind lady makes all the elves.

[Cloverjo]

Can anyone explain, please?

Naughty toy elf that gets up to tricks at night and hides in various places or moves things about. Of course parents are involved, but great fun for little children who discover his antics in the morning.

I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that. Good luck, parents of small children. :)
