Elf on a Shelf

A couple of weeks ago I got an elf from the second hand store. His name is Hermey from Rudolph and the misfits. I have heard of this great thing called elf on a shelf and it finally clicked. This tradition has you put an elf out on a shelf. The kids see it and ask what is he doing there. You tell them that the elf is watching their every move and reports them to santa. The evening when they fall asleep you move him. I decided to give it a shot. So far it is working. he has sat on top of tv, inside entertainment center, on the tree and on top of the speakers. The kids are listening more too. Hopefully this tradition continues for awhile. Big Ro laughed at first and now thinks this is the greatest thing ever.
