Zeke 2012 - Day 40 - Wall Decals
Thursday, December 13, 2012
The boys woke up and immediately ran through the hallway into our room saying they were ready to get up and look for Zeke. It way too early so I told them to go back in their beds and relax with a book until it was time for breakfast. A very short while later, they ran back down the hallway and told me that Zeke was in there room! He had put Mario and Luigi stickers on the wall space above their beds. He was also on the wall and looked like he was in a video game level! The boys got a kick out of it and loved the new wall decals for their room (which are easy to put on and take off to rearrange and don't do any damage to the paint).

The Tradition
The Elf on the Shelf is a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts an elf and gives it a name, the elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to tell Santa Claus about all of the day's adventures. Each morning, the elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the fun. Children love to wake up and race around the house looking for their elf each morning.
There are two simple rules that every child knows when it comes to having an elf. First, an elf cannot be touched; Christmas magic is very fragile and if an elf is touched it may lose that magic and be unable to fly back to the North Pole. Second, an elf cannot speak or move while anyone in the house is awake! An elf's job is to watch and listen.
Elves typically appear in their families’ homes at the beginning of the holiday season (around Thanksgiving in the U.S.). On Christmas Eve, the elves return to the North Pole with Santa Claus--until next year!
