Elf on the shelf

[cal7.62x39]

OK so it's time for all the moms and dad's to break out the elf on the shelf and find kooky ways of hiding it or setting up a scene with them. After the first week or so it can get difficult to think of new ideas, so I figured we can set a thread dedicated to sharing ideas. In the past we have done a lot of things. Hot tub in the bathroom sink, riding with Barby in her car, we even had Elsa freeze him in a giant ice ice cube. Here are a few pics so far from this year.

Chilling in the freezer...

Fishing...

Getting a snack...

And playing cowboy with a snowman.

Thank God my elf died last year and didn't come back!

We are going to do it next year when the little one is old enough to enjoy it. Should be fun.

we've threatened to disown any family member that buys our son one. i understand it's great for some kids, but we find it creepy and doesn't really like the 'someone is always watching you' lesson it teaches (i.e. normalizes privacy invasion).

and it's creepy

but to each their own and i fault no one else for enjoying it

My wife likes this, but I personally can't stand it. I'm secretly hoping she and my oldest will forget about it for at least a while this year.

Whoever came up with it was a genius. Not for the idea, but for the business model that once enough kids have one and start telling all their friends, EVERY kid is going HAVE to have one. Lest there be a weeping and a gnashing of teeth amongst the household. Brilliant.

1. Come up with a goofy idea
2. Sell it to a few kids
3. Wait for everyone else's kids to whine for one
4. PROFIT!

yes, teach your kids to lie...then wonder why they don't believe you (and lie themselves) when they are adolescents...amazing

This will all get very interesting when someone on the forum gets his hot female significant other to dress seductively like and elf and pose in various ways/places throughout the house and yard.
