Elf on the Shelf: Review and Giveaway
Last year I was introduced to the great tradition of The Elf on the Shelf
The Elf on the Shelf is a great family Christmas Tradition in a box! It is based on a tradition that Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970’s, and includes a children’s book that explains that Santa knows who is naughty or nice because he sends a “scout elf” to every home. During the Holiday Season, the Elf watches the children during the day and reports back to Santa each night. When
your kids wake up the next morning, the Elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location, making it into a game that both you and your kids will love!
The Elf on the Shelf
PS — need a little push to get into the Holiday Spirit? Visit the Elf on the Shelf Website — it is completely interactive and a blast to visit — you can even see the North pole!
You can buy the Elf on the Shelf on Amazon for $29.99. Hurry up and grab your Elf soon, so you can start this awesome family tradition this year!

I love the Christmas Tree section!!!
The stables are wonderful, as my daughter is a horse fanatic. If we lived at the North Pole, I am certain she would be willing to trade in horses for Reindeer!!! Hard to imagine them doing dressage, but she would teach them!
I heart mrs’ claus’ kitchen
The Reindeer Stables
My favorite section is the gift shop of course. My mom had this elf on our tree and she would always tell us it was watching us, I think I believed her for way too many years!
Really like Mrs. Claus kitchen.
