THE ELF ON THE SHELF:  A synopsis of the Book... and movie

What the fuss is all about.  In the 1970's Carol Aebersold started a new Christmas tradition in her home,  in 2005 it became a book and has fast become a fun and whimsical tradition in homes with little children, and of course grandchildren.  The whole family participates in the adventures of Elf on the Shelf, and here's how it goes.... The book is a story told in rhymes and here is the synopsis;  Santa sends out a scout elf to find who's being naughty and who's being nice, when the kids go to bed Elf magically transports to the North Pole to give his report to Santa each night.   Upon morning the Elf has returned and is hiding in a new spot in the home, creating a game of hide and seek each morning for the kiddos.  This all begins the day after Thanksgiving and goes on until Christmas Eve.   Some families have an Elf for each child, then Elves can create mischief and hijinks together!

The symbolism of the Elf on the Shelf cleverly conveys the importance of being naughty or nice, and being naughty means there will be consequences to unacceptable behavior, and being nice brings praise and rewards.  It mirrors the story that St, Nick always knows who's naughty and who's nice.  In the old days, legend has it that the naughty boys and girls got only coal in their stocking, and nice boys and girls got candy.   I remember wondering as a child how in the world does Santa know when I'm naughty or nice??? ... well now the secret's out... its the magical Elf on the Shelf. 

Elf on the Shelf has quickly become a fun symbol of Christmas, of the magic of Christmas and the Christmas countdown.  The Elf tradition is spreading like wildfire and kids just love it.  My daughter is already grown, but I'm getting one anyway ~ for me!

Animals renowned for their magic and mischief:  Fox ~ most definitely mischievous, Crow very magical and drawn to shiny sparkly thingys, and of course the reindeer has a very special magic.
