Elf Time!

I LOVE Christmas! I love the decorations, the presents, the kindness that people show, and I especially love the meaning behind the celebration.

The last few years, Elf On The Shelf has become a popular tradition in many homes and this year will be the first year we attempt that popular little Elf  in our house.

Elf on the Shelf
I'm a tiny bit nervous about starting this tradition. Will the creepy elf scare Liza? Is she too young? Will I forget to move it around? I am assuming that at 2 1/2 she won't really get it yet, but it might still be fun to do!

I've been looking around the web for some cute Elf ideas and I thought I would share them with you today.

I'll start off keeping things really simple this year. That's the plan anyway. If Liza is super into it than maybe I'll make it a bigger deal then I am intending to at the moment.

Does an elf come and visit at your house?! Do you have any fun and silly elf ideas or stories to share with us?! We'd love to hear them!!

I will keep you posted on our little visitor and hopefully share all the adventures he brings to my house!

XOXO Sarah

    Yep, Elfie comes to visit us each year - this will be his second year. He arrived this morning, dangling from our ceiling with bags of chocolate coins for both kids. We love it, and the kids love waking up to find him each morning!

    We've yet to begin Elf on the Shelf, but I can't wait to experiment next year! Cute placing tips!

    Our elf has been flying around our house. My problem is that there are some really cute ideas, but I hate him being in arms reach of the little monsters.

    I have been debating about whether or not to do the Elf on the Shelf this year, I am still on the fence! ;-)

    Our elf - Dizzy - arrived on Monday. So far he's been in a candle stick, on a frame, and this morning he appeared hanging upside down from the ceiling fan chain!! Benjamin is loving looking for him every morning. Like you, I'm going to keep it pretty simple this time around. I may do a few silly things like have him playing with B's cars or something, but otherwise he'll just be clinging to various things in the house! i seriously love it. :D

      So cute! Is B loving it? Does he get it? I am so curious to see how L will react this weekend!

    We're doing it this year. I don't know if I can get as creative as some people but it will be fun!

    I've heard about Elf on a Shelf and it sounds like a cute idea - but more work for me! I also heard of an alternative - I think it's Christmas Angel or something like that - that I've been considering.
