Welcome fellow scout elves! Here you will find my family's accounts of the fun we have during the holiday season. Check out the posts for some fun ideas for your family. Happy Christmas! -Zeke
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!

This was written kid-friendly so our children could read it, look at the pictures and enjoy the memories. Our kids are five years old and under so the activities, pranks and treats are mostly for young children. This is just for fun and meant to be shared with others who have fun with it the way that our family does. Please keep these things in mind when reading and commenting. Thank you! ♥
