what is with elf on the shelf

Ah, the Elf on the Shelf, a beloved holiday tradition! It's a charming little figure that Santa's elves use to help him keep an eye on who's naughty and nice. The elf is placed in a household or business, and each morning it returns to a new place, reporting back to Santa about what's been happening. It's a way to remind children to be good and to keep the holiday spirit alive throughout the season. It's a fun and creative tradition that's been loved by families for generations.
