We set off along a path familiar to us and the children enjoyed exploring along the way until we were stopped in our tracks by a small envelope addressed to the children and some chocolate coins…
Excitedly the children opened the letter…
The letter read…



Do check out our Elf on the Shelf Ideas
And then as we arrived at the waterfall we found an Elf! Evidently, he was an outdoor elf as he seemed to be enjoying his surroundings. Boo scooped him up to show to Papa.
And, as instructed by the letter, we headed home with our Christmas house guest in tow Who knows what kind of magical adventures he’ll have with us…
When we arrived home we tucked him onto the shelf. The children eventually went to bed and Elfie began to bring Christmas full force into our home.
The children awoke the next morning to discover that Elfie had erected the tree in the night and left a bucket full of decorations for them to dress it. Now that’s a thoughtful elf and we are thankful that he preempted the arguments that putting up the tree brings. Elfie had dug in the garage to find everything and saved us all from the first family tradition that comes steeped in stress.
I think that Elfie is going to prove to be a very thoughtful and useful elf indeed.
