                          @chrisjohnnick yeah I get this. We’re basically prisoners to the elf for a month. But once you start there’s no going back. Kinda like IH

                            I remember my sister telling me about it when they started doing it for my nephews 10 or so years ago, and I just thought "Nah, that ain't for me"

                                I don’t know of any of you do this with your elf but for one day she shows up in an empty plastic container, like for peanuts or something, so the kids can carry her around. Usually on a day we do something out like looking at lights or whatever.

                                One year she made a surprise visit on St Patrick’s day when the kids try to catch a leprechaun. She was in the trap dressed in green. The kids freaked all the way out.
