Christa Pitts

Last night I was watching on the Food Network Cake Wars and one of the judges for the Holiday Sweater challenges was Christa Pitts whom I remember as a host.She looks the same and did a good job. I guess she's affliliated with Elf On the Shelf which I have seen her bring to QVC in the past.

That's a nice surprise. Christa was a good host.

Wasn't her mother the creator of Elf on the Shelf??

I thought it was in her sister in law?

I liked Christa. She seemed very nice.

I remember the name, I'd probably remember her face if I saw it. As I recall, her family owned the rights to or was responsible for that Elf on the Shelf idea.

Crista is an identical twin for those who don't know. She was an excellent host in my opinion.

There was another blonde host on around the same time as Christa. She left and had a clothing line briefly on HSN. I cannot remember her name.

I really liked Christa when she was on air with Q. I'd like to have seen the show.

I only remember one season of Q bringing Elf on the Shelf to air. Wish they would bring it (and her) back for a visit.

You are welcome. Didn't recognize her until I saw her name.

I too really enjoyed her as a host....I can;t remember why she left, I thought it had something to do with her husband's job......Yes I also remember Kim Parrish, she did better as a vendor than a host to me, but she was still likeable.......Christa had that fun personality, but yet still really explained things well, and she seemed so personable and down to earth.......

I remember Christa. She liked to do the "Elaine" dance! I think her husband was a pro golfer.

Wasn't her husband a model? I thought she left because he was making a career move.

Christa is listed as co-CEO of Elf on the Shelf.

The Elf on the Shelf was written in 2004 by Carol Aebersold and daughter Chanda Bell over a cup of tea. Bell suggested they write a book about an old tradition of an elf sent from Santa who came to watch over them at Christmas time. Aebersold's other daughter, Christa Pitts, was recruited by the family to share her expertise in sales and marketing. Together, the trio devoted the next three years promoting their self-published book and attending book signings and trade shows.
