If you have toddlers and young children, then a must-have during the Christmas season is the "Elf on the Shelf." This is an activity that we've done 2 years now, and it is fabulous! It's a book, explaining that Santa knows who is naughty or nice because he sends an elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.
It's so much fun, and not to mention--my "secret weapon" for when ever Emma starts throwing a fit. All I have to say is, "Emma, I sure hope Buddy isn't listening to you right now." And she immediately stops and realizes that she needs to act good or else Buddy (the name of her elf) will report back to Santa that night, that she's been a bad girl.
