What Is Elf On The Shelf?

If you’re new to Elf on the Shelf, I’ll give you a brief rundown.

The idea started out in 2005 as a children’s book, The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell. It’s long been a vague idea in popular American culture that elves are Santa’s helpers, but this book goes deeper with a story about elves who hide out in houses to keep an eye on children during the day. Every night, they report to Santa whether the kids are being naughty or nice.

Parents around the country took this as a lighthearted way to remind children that Santa has eyes in every home. They began placing toy elves in different spots around the house every night for their kids to find in the morning.

What started as a parenting tool became a fun tradition that families can look forward to every holiday season!

As the years went on, parents became increasingly clever and elaborate with their elf placements, and started to have as much fun staging as the kids had in discovering them – maybe even more so.

So, you can also leave some Christmas cookies by the fireplace while you dress your cute elf with a chocolate chip cookie costume for a new treasured tradition. It’s never a big mistake!

Using Elf On The Shelf Clothes Adds Variety

This year, why not add to the fun by incorporating new clothes and accessories for your elf?
