when do u start elf on the shelf

Elf on the shelf begins on December 1st. It's a fun tradition that allows children to interact with an elf that has magical powers. The elf's job is to watch over the children and report back to Santa if they've been naughty or nice. But it's also a fun way to bring some magic into the season! The elf can do all sorts of things, from moving around the house to playing games with the children. It's a great way to get into the holiday spirit and make some special memories.
