The Elf on the Shelf shares a family tradition that was created to answer the question of how Santa knew if the children of the home belonged on the “nice list” or the “naughty list”. The answer is that a little scout elf comes to your home to watch and listen and then report to Santa each night. When the elf returns he finds a new spot to observe and ultimately leaves with Santa on Christmas Eve to return again the following year during the holiday season. Finding our elf (Edward) is the number one priority each morning for our daughter. It is a delight to watch her excitement.
If you have little ones in your home this is a must have!
