So I have a real elf dat comes December 1 to December 24. We started calling her Elfie because she’s an elf, and then I sent her a note in the Advent calender. On the back of the note, I put the word Joy and then she read it and said Dear Annabelle, how did you know my name is Joy? Did you hear another elf call my name? And one of the elf names is actually Joy!!!

Don’t you just love the elf’s on the shelf they get into so much mischief at night 😄😄

We named our (boy) elf Elfus, and we absolutely love him! I purchased the countdown til’ Christmas family advent game from target and I really recommend it. Your elf gives you a different, Christmas related mission each day and if you complete it, you get a prize (a gift if your choosing). Some creative places to put your elf are on your Christmas tree, or by one of your Christmas decorations. Each day I leave a little treasure map that leads my kids to where our elf is hidden and they really enjoy it. This is a really fun Christmas tradition and I recommend it to anybody with young kids!
