A few years ago I heard about an Elf on the Shelf. I had no idea really what it was, but it was filling my facebook and twitter feeds with hiding places and adventures.
Last year, one showed up at our house. The kids seemed to love it and named our elf Zolly. Zolly wasn't a mischievous elf, however she did like to hide and sometimes it would take the boys hours to find her.
When we were decorating the tree on the weekend, Mr. J asked if she would be back, we haven't seen her yet, but I have a feeling it won't be long before she finds her way into our house again.
What about you? Do you have an Elf on the Shelf? Do you like them or hate them? I will admit, the first time I heard about it I wasn't too thrilled with the idea - but it grew on me.
I have never heard of an Elf on the Shelf before....I can see why kids would find him fun and be excited to have one. It's part of the magic of Christmas and he adds to it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Lyne!
DeleteI had never heard of this elf until it started to fill my timelines with images as well! and wouldn't you know it, one arrived to our house last year too. no sign on Jingles this year yet though
ReplyDeletehmm, I wonder how and when Jingles will appear!
DeleteWe don't have one ... I remain undecided as to whether I think they are fun or creepy! :)
ReplyDelete:) thanks for stopping by
DeleteI really need to tell you my story some day. My daughter is FREAKED by that thing!
ReplyDeletewould love to hear that Kyla!
DeleteWe don't have one. If heard people rave about it and others seem to really dislike the idea. I think it's a cute idea but if one came to our house, he would probably be lazy and forget to move during the night and disappoint the kids!
ReplyDeleteYep, seems to be pretty split whether it's awesome or not! THanks for visiting
DeleteI do not have an Elf on the Shelf, and like you I was not interested. But this year, I would like to get one because they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it if you do!
