Elf on the Shelf Ideas
Hey there!
If you are reading this blog post about the Elf on the Shelf ideas, then you may already know about the holiday tradition that comes around the month of December.
Each family is different and each house thier own rules. In our home our Christmas tree is the beacon for the elves to come. That way I don't have to stress out for 25 days of moving the elf or elves.
2 weeks of elf moving is more than enough for me. You do you what works best for your family. Sincerely, I didn't like the idea of a mischievous elf making a mess in my home and having to clean that up. The story that comes with the elf doesn't make them mischievous but sincerely you have seen some of those creative ideas?
***Also note before I continue to my list YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO "ALL OUT". If your children are like mine they like the elf. If you are like my friend's child, they found it creepy. And I was able to get thier elf.
Ours helps decorate the house and plays hide and seek basically. We use what we have on hand or plan to have on hand. Thank you, dollar store and clearance sections.
If you choose to choose to adopt an elf, may you and your family enjoy. I will enjoy the moment while it lasts. Check out some photos of things we have done below.
