We started this cute little Christmas tradition with our kids a few years ago. Elfie is this tiny little elf (whom Bella named, appropriately) who shows up at our house each year on December 1st. Elfie is on special assignment for Santa Claus. His 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 have been good or bad. Elfie returns back to the house before the kids awake, and each morning he takes a new perch to spy from. When the kids get up, we make a game of who can find Elfie first. There is also one very special thing about him, we tell them. They cannot touch Elfie, or it takes away his magic.
Here are a few places we've found Elfie in the past carrying out his reconnaissance mission:
When I took the kids to Alderbrook on Friday to see Santa, Bella was wondering why Elfie hadn't arrived with him. It just now dawned on me what she was talking about.
