We are doing Elf on the Shelf again this year and our little boys are so excited.
Each day we will be sharing new Elf on the Shelf ideas and you are welcome to play along. Shall we begin?
First and foremost, my Christmas tree is up.
Decorated.
With lights.
This is worthy of celebration.
I am certain this is the first time in my adult life that my Christmas tree has been up before the first of December, much less before mid-December. I even let the kids do most of the decorating. Didn’t even worry about ornaments breaking. I am certain my husband is proud of me.
Today Elf left a note…. a welcome note of sorts. Clearly he is ready for a new season. He was waiting under our decorated Christmas tree this morning.
And today we will read the Elf on the Shelf book and our journey will begin.
Warning, we adjust some of the “rules of the book” as we go along.
For example, parents can touch Elf, if need be.
We might even rename him this year. {{shutter}}
We live life on the Elf edge.
Are you doing Elf on the Shelf this year?

My kids are too old for Elf on a Shelf but I do really enjoy seeing everyone’s ideas on Pinterest. So creative! I wish this was around when my kids were preschoolers.
Yes! Although he hasn’t arrived yet. I plan to put our tree up this weekend and that will signal ‘Sam’s’ arrival. Our 5 year old is already talking about the things he did last year! So he is ready to see him again.
This is our first year – I think our elf will appear December 1st. I’ll be looking for great ideas!!!
First congrats on putting your tree up! I am impressed.
We do not do elf on the shelf, but my kids and I talk about it. Of course they came up with creepy off the wall ideas, but funny!
I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Kim, I knew you would especially be impressed about my Christmas tree.
awesome!!!
