Elf On the Shelf

Elf On The Shelf Stationary

December 8, 2014 by Megan 1 Comment

When we started this tradition years ago, we found ourselves wondering two nights before Christmas-- How exactly do we end this? Our little goodbye letter was whipped up quickly and over the years we have improved it. We created a fun pre-written letter on official Elf on the Shelf letterhead (designed by my husband). The letter was for our family so it said children, because we have children. Lots of folks have written to me asking if there could be an option for one child. Go down to the ...

Elf on the Shelf Antics & a Few Thoughts

December 12, 2013 by Megan 15 Comments

This will be our third Christmas with our Elf on the Shelf. When we received our Elf on the Shelf as a gift from my mom over three years ago, it seemed like a fun holiday tradition.

All season long I see Facebook post and blog post and open letters about Elf on the Shelf. Criticizing. Making fun of. Putting down. I ...

The Last Of Our Elf Antics

December 28, 2012 by Megan Leave a Comment

Bruce has headed back to the North Pole. We said our goodbyes, which you can read more about here. Bruce is a fan of baby wearing too! I got a kick out of him in the Baby Carrier. Bruce even managed to pick up a Christmas card from my sister all the way in Connecticut on the way back from the North Pole. Can you believe Christmas is over? This year just flew by. What kind of antics has your elf been up to? Did you say goodbye too? We shared Elf on the Shelf ideas in ...

December 13, 2012 by Megan Leave a Comment

Bruce, our Elf on the Shelf has been bringing lots of laughter to the household: giving people mustaches, building forts, messing with power tools, fishing for underwear, hot tubbin', gaming, camping, hanging out and playing cards. He is still Quinn's first priority every morning. What kinds of things has your elf been up to? Please excuse some of the poor photography. Most of these pictures are taken at night when Bruce is getting into mischief and the lighting isn't all that great. We ...
