An Elf named Roxy

This is something that I just learned existed this week. 'Elf on a Shelf.' It's this darling book and Elf that helps keeps kids excited and good for Christmas.

Last night Santa left a gift for Finley and Eliza.

So we opened it.
The 'instruction manual', book.

According the the book this little elf is magical. They sit around somewhere in your house and watch you to make sure you are happy and good. Then magically at night they fly home to the North Pole to update Santa on how you are. Then the next morning you have to look around your house to see where the little elf is watching you from. The book has a cute story to explain the elf and what they do. It tells how on Christmas Day they go back home to help Santa until next year when they come back again to keep an eye on you. The book states that you have to name your elf so they know they belong to you, Fin chose the name 'Roxy'.

I've been wanting to start a few little traditions of our own and I thought this is a cute and unique idea. I highly recommend getting one of your own.
