We have an Elf on the Shelf Christmas tree ornament with the Washington Nationals logo. We just put him on the tree last night.

Love this guy!!! Friends of mine on fb post the Elf here, there, everywhere in silly, crazy, bad ways. Last night he was with Barbie in one scene, then sitting around the poker table with three ladies. You can use your imagination in each scene with this trouble maker guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just so funny!

My one DIL, Instagram enthusiast, is really into the elf; her son not so much. I'm with him.

Thankfully my granddaughter was afraid of it so we never had to do it. Thank God.

I can picture a horror movie made about Elf on the Shelf. Kind of like the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies where he invades a child's dreams and scares them.

I remember that Christa Pitts, a former QVC host, is the daughter of the woman who made up this elf doll and I think that's why Christa left, to become part of the business along with her sister.

Thankfully he was not around when my kids were young and I don't have any grandchildren. Cannot say I'm sorry I missed all the supposed fun, LOL. Anything reminding me of a Chuckie doll is not my cup of tea. @Spurt the pictures you posted are pretty funny though!!

When I was a kid, I used to receive an Elf with a Whitman sampler mini candy box tucked into his arms. They were sold that way and available at our local drug store.

I have no idea when this Elf on the Shelf nonsense came into existence. I find it creepy and scary. Kids should not be subject to things that go bump in the night.
