Naughty or Nice? Elf on the Shelf Helps Santa
This Elf is full of cuteness. Who has been naughty and who has been nice? Using playful rhymes and an adorable holiday story, The Elf on the Shelf reminds children that Santa is watching. By day, the accompanying plush Elf keeps an eye on the children, reports to the North Pole after bedtime and returns to a new location in the home, creating a super fun hide-and-seek game each morning. 
I love that children can register their elf online and receive a special response from Santa. Something about this concept that keeps a little bit of an old fashioned innocence with us.
We didn’t have an Elf on the Shelf when my kids were growing up, but we did have a hide-and-seek tradition with an ET figure that I think came in a McDonald’s Kids Meal. The idea was to hide ET for someone else to find him and the fun of it was sneaking around to do it.
My kids are grown now, but that little ET still hangs out in our house today and shows up when you least expect him.
Happy Organizing!
