Y'all ever hear of these things? They are Santa's elves who live with you during the Christmas season. They are in your house during the day and disappear to the North Pole to help out Santa every night. On Christmas Eve they leave with Santa and do not return until the next December.
We are not the only people with this little house guest. The kids hear from their friends how the elves get into all kinds of things at night. One friend knew the elf was real because it left little pointy footprints in the flour that was spilled all over the kitchen.
The elves are never in the same place you left them when you went to bed. So....this is like tooth fairy duty (he he he...duty....can't even type that word without laughing) every night for a month...stay awake and make sure Elfie is hiding in a new spot.
I decided that making sure Elfie was getting home from the North Pole every night was enough. I was not going to compound it by "allowing" him do his worst in my kitchen. Then it came to me....like a light shining from the heavens....
Miss-D-Mom what happened to the last piece of chocolate cake??!!??!?!
Me-Donno have y'all found that sneaky elf yet?
MonkeyBoy-MOM!!! Why is Elfie in the freezer and what happened to all of the ice cream sandwiches?!?!?
Y'all get where I am going.......This year I suspect Elfie might get the last sausage balls and take a good swipe at the chocolate covered cherries. If the FlyingMonkeys are not behaving he might even get into their stuff...
Magnuts-MOM Elfie threw my Pokemon cards all over my room!!!!
Muwahhhh haaaa haaaa haaaa!

I have to admit when I first read about these elves I was thinking "who has this kind of time on their hands? At the holidays no less!" But I can clearly see how it could be the most fun parents have at Christmas time. Hmmm, are my kids too old to fall for this?
I have never heard of these elves before. I could see them getting into serious trouble at my house.
FLIPPIN SWEET!
WHERE can I get me one of those??
"Mommyyyy....who ate all my skittles???
"Well son, I DID see that Elf in there earlier...I'm just sayin'"
I usually blame the dog. Granted I don't have a dog....
That's so fun! I want one.
Oh wow - I can't wait until my little booger is old enough to be victim AHEM, I mean _in_on_ the Elf game . . .
I never heard of these elves either, but love the idea. It just seems like one of those things that helps make the season fun, in a pure and innocent way.
And makes for good excuses too!
That is a different idea, but sounds like way too much work. Staying awake for the dang tooth fairy is difficult enough for my household.
I have heard about that damn elf. So help me God if you ever even think of giving me one!!!! I agree, way too much time on one's hands, and I don't want to encourage my kids to do more stupid crap than they already do, resulting in my cleaning up after them and the elf!!!!
