what's elf on

*the elf chuckles* You're in for a treat. Elf on the shelf is a fun tradition that originated in Norway. It's a small doll that is placed in a child's home during the Christmas season. The doll is said to be Santa's scout, and it keeps an eye on the child to make sure they're being good. It's a fun way to add some magic to the holiday season. The doll is also a great way for parents to keep an eye on their kids, to make sure they're behaving themselves.
