Elf on the Shelf

[ Edited ]

It's bad enough his/her eyes follow me in Hallmark stores.Woman Surprised

 

Now the creepy little face has his/her own cereal, fruit snacks, and a menu dedicated to the little snitch at IHOP.

We had those little devils when I was growing up.  They didn't move around because we tied them in the tree.  LOL

You know ,I think this is creepy. My children were given a little tin foil container, a bag of hay,and a tiny baby. They were told to make the bed for the Christ Child soft, by doing good deeds. Every time they did some  nice act , they were given some hay to make a soft bed for the Blessed Baby

 

If I didn't have any religious leanings, I would try to find a positive way for the children to be  good. I certainly wouldn't scare them into feeling like, there were things in their home ,spying on them

 

Scaring children is never a good idea .

I have several that I picked up at garage sales through the years.  I tuck them in the branches of my Christmas tree....they aren't allowed to snoop around the apartment!

It's bad enough if you listen to the words of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" to hear he know when you are sleeping, he know when you're awake, he knows, etc. Santa has always been snooping on you if you hear the words, now he has his elves prying into your child's behavior as well. It just makes Christmas creepy. 

I behaved because I was told to, not because someone was watching my every more. It's even worse today because of real cameras everywhere. But, these elves moving around the house just isn't fun to me.

Last year my niece got me Shiraz on the Shelf from One Funny Mother.  It's the adult version of Elf on the Shelf complete with wine glass and poem.  Since then, I smile whenever I see Elf on the Shelf (but yes, his eyes are creepy).

I never liked the idea of that Elf on the Shelf.  It wasn;t around when my girls were young and I don't think my girls will buy into it for the grands.
