COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: Elf On The Shelf

This little creature has been part of family traditions for generations but 2005 saw the release of the “Elf On The Shelf” book which spurred a whole new love for the tradition. Brought to us by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, the book was illustrated by Coë Steinwart. The story goes that the elf watches the children during the day to see who is naughty or nice and returns to the North Pole each night to report to Santa. The elf gets up to mischief every night too and children must locate him everyday, it is an amazingly fun tradition for any family. The Elves come as both male and females and their are accessories for them too. Have you got your elf? Was it a tradition in your family?
