We started this cute little Christmas tradition with our kids last year. It's about this tiny little elf (whom Bella named, appropriately, Elfie) who shows up at our house on December 1st. Elfie is on special assignment for Santa Claus. Elfie's one and only duty is to watch Bella and Rowan throughout the day. Then after they are fast asleep, he flies back to the North Pole and reports to Santa whether they have been good or bad.
Elfie returns back to the house before the kids awake, but each morning he has a new perch to spy from. When the kids get up, it's a game who can find Elfie first. And there is one very special thing about him, we tell them. They cannot touch Elfie, or it takes away his magic.
Start a tradition like this with your own kids. They will LOVE it!
that's really a great idea and then you get great behavior for an entire month, that's unheard of .
ReplyDeleteI love this! Remind me to do this when I finally have kids! :)
