how do you do elf on the shelf

The "elf on the shelf" is a fun holiday tradition where a mischievous elf comes to visit during the holidays to keep an eye on children's behavior. The elf is supposed to report back to Santa every night to tell him who's been naughty and nice. But it's all in good fun! The elf is really just there to remind kids of the spirit of the season and make them feel loved and special. And if the elf is caught doing something silly or playful, it's all part of the game!
