The Elf on the Shelf is one of the hottest and most discussed seasonal phenomenon that I’ve witnessed in years. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t know what Elf on the Shelf is and how it’s supposed to work. But just in case you may be one of those few who are not in ‘the know’ I’ll give you a quick summary.
Once a family adopts an Elf, reads the story of The Elf on the Shelf and names their pixie he will receive his Christmas magic. It is vital to note that the elf cannot be touched or he will lose this magic. Beginning around Thanksgiving the Elf watches everything that goes on in the home during the day and at night uses his magical powers to fly back to the North Pole to report back to Santa what he witnessed in the home. This will ensure that Santa will know who behaved and is to be put on the Nice List or who didn’t which will put the child on the Naughty List. Before the family awakes each morning, their elf will fly back to their home positioning himself in a different spot since these elves like to play games. On Christmas Eve, the scout elf will listen for Santa’s bell and then fly back to the North Pole until the next season.
