Welcome to the Elf on the Shelf Blog
These were the activities of the at our house this November and December of 2011. If you are not familiar with the Elves, the official Elf on the Shelf
website would help and
get the book. We don't use either for our family tradition. This was our third year welcoming the young elves who had been doing too much mischief up in the North Pole. Santa was glad to have them come stay with us for until Christmas Eve when he eats his cookies and milk and drops off our presents. Our youngest (4) and middle (8) were really looking forward to having the elves and the tricks they play each night they are visiting. See the thread of communication between us and Santa.

Dear Santa,
We
want the elves to come again. We will ALL clean up the messes. The
string mess was fun. Audra liked the sticky notes. It was fun to play
with the elves in the morning. Please have the elves wear warm
clothes. Please send 6 elves so Clooney can have an elf. If you have
an elf dog, that would be good too. We would like the elves to do all
our schoolwork and our jobs and bring us surprises. Audra would like
the elves to make her a teeter totter. Elijah would like beyblades.
Aria wants Mario Cart. We will put out art supplies for the elves and
teach them to make crafts. We will also feed the elves healthy food and
try to teach them to behave and act lovingly and teach them to read.
Audra will teach them to speak Spanish. We would like the elves to make
cookies also and we will share them. When will the elves be here?
Thank you very much!
Love,
Momma, Daddy, A***, E*****, A****, and Clooney |

Dear Segura Family,
We have a big problem here at
the north pole. The six elves I was going to send you have run away!
We have been looking for days but there is just no sign of them. We
have issued a red alert to all of Santa's helpers so that they can help
find Muffin Face, Plunka, Buggie, ClooCloo, ElfDaddy, and ElfMomma. So
PLEASE, if you see them, notify me at once! Remember that the elves
like to eat-this may be the key to finding them!
Love,
Santa Claus
I hope this email finds you well. It is very cold at the North Pole today. It is -20. I am very busy getting
the toys ready for Christmas. I have been looking for families that can help teach my young elves
about Christmas and care for them while we are so busy here. As I'm
sure you understand, it can be difficult to get things done with young elves under foot! I am hoping that next year they will be more mature and a bigger help to me. Of course, if you enjoy the elves this year, they may want to keep coming back to your home each Christmas. Any day now, your elves
should be arriving. I will pick them up on Christmas Eve when I deliver
your toys. I do not have any elf dogs available right now, but I do
have two girls and a boy. It's funny, because I have elves
with exactly the same names as all three of you! The older girl is
named Muffin face, the younger girl is Plunka, and the boy is named
Buggie! It should be easy for you to remember their names!
I should warn you that the elves can be a bit messy. These elves
are still learning, so be gentle if things are a little
messy in the morning. They are very loving and friendly and ready to
learn from you. Be ready to teach them all about Christmas and the love
of God, so they can bring this love and knowledge back with
them to the North Pole. They love to hide and play, especially at
night, while everyone else is sleeping. And yes, they do like to watch
TV and they might bring presents. You will just have to wait and see! I
promise, you will have lots of fun!
I think you should be a good family for my elves. I know you three are gentle and kind and will help these elves learn good manners. Be sure to put out crackers and water for the elves as you wait for
their arrival. They are shy at first and will usually hide when they
first arrive. The crackers sound like crunching snow, and the water is
like melted North Pole Snowflakes. It will help them feel at home and want to
come meet you.
We hope you enjoy sharing your Christmas season with these elves. They are looking forward to meeting you.
Please update us from time to time as to how the elves are doing.

Dear Santa,
The elves are at our house. They are
only doing boring things. We want them to do the string mess and the
sticky notes too. We want them to write jokes on sticky notes and stick
them all over the house. We also want to see them soon! How do you
talk to the elves? Do you talk to the elves? We want them to scare
Aria. Do elves like Beyblades? I want them to buy me some. Do
elves like snow? We want the elves to do their jobs for us. We will
make beds for them. We will write their names on the beds. We will
also feed them. If we forget, we will slap ourselves in the face. Just
kidding. We really will feed them though.
Love,
E***** and A**** |
