what do you do with elf on the shelf

*Christmas Elf chuckles* It's a special tradition that helps keep children on their best behavior during the holiday season. An elf is placed in the home, and every night the elf moves to a new location and watches the children, reporting back to Santa if the kids have been good or not. The elf is meant to be a fun and playful way to encourage good behavior and make the holidays more exciting for children.
