    Ooh, I need more ideas like that.

    I mentioned this to my wife and starting tomorrow morning I'll be hiding the elf and she'll be searching for it. I plan to be very nice about it - for the first couple of days at least.

      Nothing says Merry Christmas like that.
      Our daughter came home the other day and said "Hey, I found a bunch of stuff I want for Christmas. I went ahead and bought it so here it is. You can just reimburse me."

      Fine by me. One less shopping trip.

        That's how I roll. "danimal, I just bought this stuff... Just call it my Christmas."
        What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

          I like my method best: buy what I want. Ask nobody. Justify nothing.

              I was on a phone call when I saw that, and it took all of my self control not to break out in a fit of laughter.
              Not that, sickos.

                I think those elves are creepy.

Last night he was on the handle to the milk jug, and the night before I made a Lincoln Log house out of pretzel sticks with him inside it.

                  I may have to steal DDD's plastic bag in the tub idea.
                  I think those elves are really for the parents to play with.

I put him in weird places, including inside the blender, in a weighted plastic bag at the bottom of a bathtub filled with water, and hanging from a noose in our main entryway. The kids don't really know what a noose is so they think it is all in fun.
                    You keep using that term. I don't think it means what you think it means...

                    Come one. Pluuuheeeese tell me. You're killing me!

                      He came early tonight. There's a pyramid stack of nestable boxes on the dining room table on top of an embroidered tree skirt my Aunt made surrounded by a strand of 500 multi-color twinkle lights that go around the ceiling fan, around the pyramid, and then around the base. The Elf is up top smiling down on his creation.

We don't own one, hate to think I'd have to convince Phat that we need 4. I could really care less what everyone's Elf did last night. Just sayin'.

                              Oh, how the times have changed. My wife caved and we got an elf on the shelf...my kids called him Chester. It is a great way to get in the holiday spirit throughout the few weeks leading up to the big day. The kids love it, my wife loves it and it gives me great joy when I get home from work and the first thing that my kids want to do is show me what Chester had done the night before. The. My wife posts it on her Facebook page
