@wagirl: I thought it was just me. There's a creep factor to the Elf on the Shelf IMO.  So, no, you won't find this elf on my shelf. LOL

  I didn't grow up with them and personally I think they're creepy.

But I mentor 20-something year olds that grew up with them and love the elf on the shelf tradition. 

@Spurt your pictures are hilarious!!!

 (Almost spit my coffee.)

Teacher daughters Special Ed classroom love their elf's antics, and look forward to finding him every morning.

Nope. Not mine either.

Call me Clueless. . . I don't know what it's all about.

We are currently doing this with the two youngest in the family.

Everyone is having great fun and doing it with lighthearted humor.

No creepiness.  No scolding or threatening of the kids.

It is what you want to make it.  Exhausting for the parents involved though.

Never liked this one....

I always rhought he was a little creepy, @Cakers3 

Kudos to the marketing skills of the Q person and her mom who created him, though.

My kids love it! 

It's just a fun thing, don't take it too seriously

Our focus is strictly on the religious significance of Christmas.
