Last Christmas we received the Elf on the Shelf book by Carol V. Aebersold. The author describes how the elf came into existence this way. "At our home the elf would arrive around the holidays, usually at Thanksgiving. His sole responsibility was to watch my children's behavior and report it to "Santa" each night. The next morning after the children awoke, they discovered the elf had returned from the "North Pole" and was hiding in a different place. My children would race each other out of bed to try and be the first to spy him in his new position." The Bork Family gave it to us as a new family tradition to start. We have been spying the Elf hiding in our house this year and we must say Maria is a good Elf finder. Hope you enjoy the video of her looking for "The Elf". She is calling for him by saying "Oh, Eff".
We have plenty to praise God for; traditions to start with our family.
