I find having this creepy thing spying on children just wrong. I wouldn't like being spyed upon, would you?

It's the new normal.

I think this is like any other holiday fictional character, it is what you make of it.

Some people use it to 'spy' on the kids, some people use it to have fun and magic during the season. It really is up to the parents what it becomes.

This is very much a parent led activity, and if they aren't will to put some time into it, or some creativity into it, it will be a waste of money. So you really need to know the level of commitment that the parent(s) will have and the level of creativity they have when making the decision to gift this.

my granddaughter knows she can't touch or move her elf (can't recall name) but she is so funny with it!

on the flip side look at this great idea someone shared:

My GD was going to town in that playroom. My son dropped off a lot of nice things today to Habitat for Humanity.

<p>I first of heard of this a couple of years ago, I'm not comfortable with it.  The thing is creepy looking and the idea of some idea of some mean little creature spying on children isn't in the spirit of Christmas.  </p>

I finally bought one of these in 2014. My children were asking for it. Ours is named Sacramento. My son still believes in Santa so he gets a kick out of finding the elf every morning. For me it gets to be a hassle to find new places to put it. I don't get very creative with where I hide the elf. I like the idea of it for children who still believe.
