Elf on a Shelf: Day 23

Here’s Chintz, our Elf on a Shelf, pretending to be in a snow globe.

He even has “snow” all fallen around him (coconut). And as a gift on his last night in our home, he left the Cupcake a custom snow globe (on left) with a photo of her and Santa on one side, and Chintz on the other. I guess he wanted to give her something to remember him by. Such a thoughtful Elf! We’re really going to miss him for the next 11 months. I bet he has something planned as his farewell tonight – I can’t wait to see what it is!

Special thanks to Christy Starling of C Star Cakes who initially did a snow globe Elf on a Shelf theme. Chintz thought it looked like “Bob” their Elf on a Shelf was having so much fun, he wanted to try it too. And the custom snow globes from Michaels was a perfect addition.

Don’t know the Elf on a Shelf story? Seems that Santa has a crew of “scout elves” that he sends to little girls and boys. Upon receipt, the elf must be named to receive his magic. Once named, he begins his Elf on a Shelf duties which means he’s watching all day and night to see if your kiddo has been good or bad. Then he uses his elf magic to fly back to the North Pole at night and report to Santa. The elf returns the same night and usually lands in a new place – which creates a game of hide and seek each morning for the children. SOME elves are mischievous and get into all types of antics during their free time at night. It’s always fun to see what the Elf on a Shelf has done the next morning.
