The other night we read "Elf On The Shelf" to my daughter for the first time. Although she is just over two years old and doesn't understand it much, I was excited to start this tradition. She came into the living room this morning and about 5 minutes later she noticed the elf sitting on the lamp. Her reaction was priceless! She started backing up and said "See Elf -- scared Mommy". Gotta admit, that little thing is just a tad creepy!
I have a feeling this is going to become more of a game for Mom and Dad and not for our kids. I've been thinking all day of creative ideas on where this little twerp will end up and in what compromising situation -- who does that? Apparently it runs in my family because my sister has traumatized her kids so badly over the past two years that they now refuse to sleep alone the entire month of December. Now although I don't plan on taking it quite that far (this year) -- I do plan to make this tradition an exciting and fun one for the entire family!
Anyhow, here are my top 5 ideas shared by others for your Elf On The Shelf... As you'll find, most of them aren't kid appropriate, go figure! Lets call this the "adult version"...

Elf On A Binge
Santa demoted him from last year so he's decided to drown his sorrows in some vino to forget about it. Clearly Elf can't deal with life either and needs some Paxil like the majority of the world.

Elf Held Hostage
If only the little twerp would listen. They told him to stay out of the toy box, but his curiosity got the best of him and now he's stuck in a showdown.

Bad Intention Elf
Barbie thought he was being nice by offering to drive her home in her pink corvette... little did she know Elf had ulterior motives.

Saturday Night Elf
With Justin Timberlake by his side, this elf sure knows how to deliver a present "in a box".
