Elf on the shelf

This year Eric was the only kid living at home and I was needing a little Christmas spirit. A big craze was getting a little elf that would visit the young children in the home and report back to Santa about their good behavior. I thought it would be fun to do for Eric. So, we sat down and read the book (included with the Elf) gave our Elf a name, and went to bed. Each morning Winky the Elf would have a treat and note ready for Eric. It was fun giving him little trinkets and things he needed in a fun way.
