Product Description
The Elf on the Shelf
Like most children through the ages, they want to know how Santa really knew who was naughty and who was nice. Their answer came in the form of a small pixie-elf.
The first time the elf arrived at our home, our children officially adopted him by giving him a name. Each year he would arrive around the holidays, usually at Thanksgiving. His sole responsibility was to watch the children's behavior and reports it to Santa each night. The next morning after the children awoke, they discovered the elf had returned from the North Pole and was now resting in a new and different place. Our children would race each other out of bed to try and be the first to spot him in his new position.
To preserve the elf's Christmas magic the children were not allowed to touch it; however, talking to the elf was encouraged. Our children shared many secrets with their elf; and while he was under strict orders not to talk to them, the elf was under no such orders where grown-ups were concerned.
Unwittingly, the tradition provided an added benefit: it helped the children to better control themselves. All it took was a gentle reminder that the "elf is watching,".
I never dreamed this simple tradition would lead to so many treasured Christmas memories for our entire family. It is with earnest desire that The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition will bring as much joy to your family as it has to many others.
Enjoy this tradition, and MAKE IT YOUR OWN!
This package contains everything you need to begin making Christmas memories for your family: one of Santa's elves and a beautifully illustrated children's book.
