My son loves his elf. He looks forward to coming down in the morning and seeing where his elf is, and what he has been up to. I like that he elf watches what he is up to, and reports back to Santa. Nothing better then a straight line to the big man himself.
So much to choose from!
My son named his new elf Tom, and since we like to travel, Tom does as well. Tom has proven to be a hardy fellow, handling suitcases, backpacks, car rides, and even plane travel with relative ease. I suppose when you are used to flying around to and from the North Pole, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico aren’t that big of a deal.
Tinsel, Tom, and Amy take a trip with us to Great Wolf Lodge. Bob the Reindeer stayed home to guard the house.
Once Tom came to our house, it was time to get him ready for Christmas. Thankfully, we have a Kohl’s nearby, and they have everything an elf could want for the holiday season. Have you seen the new Claus Couture Collection? Perhaps your elf wants to doll up on occasion, not just wear his or her same old red elf outfit day in and day out. There are quite a few outfits to choose from. Perhaps your elf wants a friend, a reindeer to fly back to the North Pole at night with. (The new pet reindeer come with their own charm and cute story book as well.) Maybe your child and elf want a friend in common- an elf friend that can snuggle up at night, that doesn’t need to fly back to the North Pole at all, but stays at home with you. So many options to choose from!

Then there are pajamas for your child (perfect for Christmas and the whole winter season), and flatware, take along cups, games, and more. There is so much to choose from, and all to help you get your “Elf on the Shelf” on.
Some of the “extras” my son chose- a pet reindeer, an outfit for him, and a snuggly Elf on the Shelf he named Amy.
My son has really enjoyed the new items and his new elf. He had a great time choosing new items, new friends, and reading all about them. His favorite thing, however, has been all the adventures they have taken together.
It’s Elf on the Shelf time! Getting his new elf and reindeer out of the boxes and asking mommy to read the books.
As Christmas Eve approaches, he knows his new buddies will soon be going home until next year. (Well, except Amy- she gets to stay and help make “Welcome Back!” cookies when they arrive.) While he will be sad to see them go, he can send them letters and get updates from them throughout the year, and we can’t wait to see them again when they return.

If you haven’t gotten your Elf On The Shelf yet, there is still time! If you have your elf, you can grab these fun “extras” as well, just head to Kohl’s – let your child help choose, it really thrills them.
Happy Holidays from me and mine to you and yours.
