do elf on the shelf move

Yes, Elf on the Shelf does move! The elf is designed to move around the house each day and report back to Santa if you've been naughty or nice. The elf's movements are meant to be subtle and mysterious, adding to the magic of the holiday season. The elf may move in unexpected places, or it might appear in a new location each day, reminding children of its presence and reminding them to be on their best behavior.
