75+ Fun & Creative Elf on the Shelf Ideas (in Pictures)

December 8, 2016


Many families participate in the Elf on the Shelf tradition each Christmas season, moving the little guy around each night and setting him up in unique locations, and often hilarious scenes, around the house. While the elf's main job is to keep an eye on children to make sure they are behaving and to report back to Santa in time for Christmas, it seems the biggest job is that of the parents responsible for setting up the elf's latest adventures each night for the kids' enjoyment, all in the name of fun.
