YES! I admit it...I'm an Elf on the Shelfer, I am an avid Elfer! I have plans each night before I go to bed to talk with the Elves and see what their next adventure may be, what they are thinking might be a good spot to place themselves on that evening, and what they would like to accomplish on their mission. In fact, I've woken up in the middle of the night realizing that Arnold and Brittany may still be sitting in the same spot as they were the night before, and I have to make sure that they understand that in order to keep their magical powers they HAVE to move, they just have to move! Otherwise, I will have a few very disappointed Elf believers.
Our Elves have been fishing in the fish bowl...swinging from the ceiling fan....climbing up the Christmas tree...and more recently sitting in the foot massager while it was running. We don't have bad Elves, they don't get into the confectioners sugar, and they stay away from marshmallows. Thank goodness, because with 8 kids I really don't have time to clean up after bad elves.
I know some mommies and daddies would prefer that Elf stay on the store shelf, and never enter their homes, but I have to say I was not an Elfer at first until someone brought him to my home as a gift, now there is no getting around a Christmas season without Arnold and Brittany! Somehow they eventually enter the season without us even realizing they are there. They can be cute, and I promise that as long as you train them well they usually end up pretty disciplined little guys and gals. You just have to stay on them like puppies each season.
Although there is a certain way to loose friendships if you're interested, and that is to gift an Elf to a NON-Elfer...so if you are so inclined to slim down your friendship list, and have less Christmas presents to purchase this season, then may I suggest that you purchase an elf or two and send them over to a less than friendly relationship. Otherwise, enjoy the season, train your elves, keep the powered sugar, and the marshmallows locked up in the pantry and let Christmas begin.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!!!! Sincerely, Momma Wigglebop!!!
