Why You Should Have an Elf on the Shelf
Having an Elf on the Shelf is a tradition in many families. These special ambassadors from the North Pole bring the Christmas spirit to homes with a spark of magic.
I don’t know about you, but my kids are always a little amped up after Thanksgiving. Maybe it’s because they are getting close to winter break at school or excited about Christmas. Either way, when our Elf on the Shelf arrives, they are suddenly on their best behavior again, knowing he will report back to the big man up North!
Seeing our Elf on the Shelf every year reminds my kids of the importance of family traditions. Now that they’re getting a little older (oh, the teen years!), they’re keen on independence. The Elf on the Shelf transports them to when they were little, and they feel the Christmas spirit again! As a mom, what more could you ask for?
So grab your Elf on the Shelf arrival letter and Elf on the Shelf calendar for planning out the days and get ready to bring the real magic to Christmas for kids young and old.
