I gave one to my dog, my little girl, and within minutes it was a blood bath!

It started as a book, and has grown into a good profit.. No there is no moral or learning, the elf is supposedly how santa watches everyone (the elf report's back)... Kids are older, the whole thing seems kind of dumb to me.. I mean, if he's hiding how come the kids find him so easy

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

I never got into the Elf. Thought it was a pain in the ass, although the kids were into it. I would usually forget to move it then wake up in a panic realizing I forgot to move him. We forgot a couple of times and the kids would freak out.

As a teacher I LOVE elf on the shelf. I build it up by showing the elf on an airplane, unpacking, cooking (there are alot of pictures of the elf doing various things on the internet...many are not appropriate for school though). and then it arrives with a letter, read the story, etc. I move it each night/morning to another place in the classroom. Some kids are totally freaked out by it and others are just on their best behavior. I have even brought out the elf on the shelf at other times of the year (ie. week before spring break, etc.) and told the kids that the elf came back to visit.

I assume you work at a private school? My daughters school is very diverse. My daughter has several Somali kids in her class who dont even dress up for Halloween.

A few seasons ago our elf was involved in a vehicular homicide involving Barbie, her girlfriend and her dream car corvette.

And that is when I lost my elf hiding privileges both literally and, for awhile, metaphorically.

That's what I was thinking - my kid's school is really diverse too. They do a big Diwali celebration every year. It's pretty awesome (I grew up in a small rural town).

 The blood splatter on the candy canes in the background adds to the effect.

George the elf is on day three in the same place. He must be stuck as his scarf is wrapped around the curtain rod. Tonight we will have to take out the kitchen tongs (since you can’t touch him) and free him. He’s really quite uncoordinated and gets stuck a surprisingly lot for an elf that can fly in the dark...

It’s always entertaining watching kids try to free him with cooking tools without touching him or letting him fall on the floor.

Wait - why can't you touch him or let him fall to the floor? Is he made out of a flag?

I laughed way too hard at this....
