A little yet-to-be-named elf arrived into our house in the wee hours of the morning, along with a Christmas present that Santa couldn't carry all the way to Ireland because it was too heavy!
I can't wait to see her reaction to the elf and his responsibilities! Have you ever heard of the elf on the shelf tradition?
Indeed I have Jill! As you will no doubt know, Elf on the Shelf is not a UK tradition...but one that I love regardless. I'm so keen to start this with our Gracie but no matter where I look, I can't source one :( I have searched on Amazon etc but the UK site has nothing..I have found one but its not very nice! With your Canadian/British knowledge , can you help? Thank you Jill . Dx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea. Lilah will love her elf.
ReplyDeleteWe do the elf on the shelf too. Ours is named Happy:)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this, but it is a cute idea! I can hardly wait to see what her big gift is.
ReplyDelete@ Paige... the gift wasn't big, but it was heavy! It was all her books and games.
ReplyDelete@ Debbie... I've never seen the elf in Ireland before. I first saw it in the States, but then came across them in one of our bookshops, and it was 30% off... so I picked it up! I'm sorta surprised Amazon.co.uk doesn't have them?
Maybe I can get one mailed over if you still can't find it. :)

We just started this tradition this year as well. our elf is named...wait for it..."Elfie". The girls picked the name ;)
ReplyDeleteWe aren't focusing so much on the "naughty and nice" part, since they are really great girls most of the time and it's ok to make mistakes, since we're all practicing!
They do love going to find him each morning to see where he is hiding. They keep asking how he "moves his body" to get to the North Pole each night to see his good friends Santa, Mrs. Claus and all the reindeer.
Hope Lilah enjoys this tradition as much as my girls are!
