What is "elf on a shelf"?
I thought it was cute when I first heard about how the elf gets moved around to be found each day. Then this year I learned he actually is keeping an eye on the little ones and reports to Santa on who is naughty or good. I don't like it much any more. I think it started out from a book story.
The Elf on the Shelf®: A Christmas Tradition includes a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts a scout elf and gives it a name, the scout elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to tell Santa Claus about all of the day's adventures. Each morning, the scout elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the fun.
