Little Rascals

Christmas, eh? What a time for children for the most part. What's not to love? Presents from Santa, mostly everyone in good form, maybe some snow if they are really lucky and more recently the very American tradition of Elf on the Shelf.

We didn't bother for the first few years, but as more and more stories cam home from school, we said we'd get on the bandwagon last year and the kids have absolutely loved it.

Here is what the little rascals got up to last night.

Sleep.... What's that?

Well much and all as elf on the shelf is great fun for the kids and I love hearing their excitement while they run around looking for the hell raising elves in the morning, the down side is it's usually at 6am and the first awake wakes the others and off they go on the hunt while shouting with excitement!

Are any of you good folks doing Elf on the shelf? Any good suggestions for us?

Did someone say sleep!?

Right on that note I'm off to bed to catch up on some Zs as these lads will be up at 6am on the button.

I'll see you crazy cats for Three Tune Tuesday tomorrow.

Thanks as always for stopping by everyone.

Peace Out

Up by 6 to catch an elf 😂😂😂
Y'all be doing the most😂💔

Ha ha, yep early starts in this house with the kids, especially when the elves are about for December!

I see😂😂

My mom had a ceramic elf that she would move for us in December, well before Elf on the Shelf became popular. I apparently missed out on a great business opportunity!

I have that ceramic elf, now, and have tortured my own kids with it. They're too old for it now, they say, and they know how/who moves it, so the morning excitement is gone.

The morning excitement will certainly rebound Christmas morning; they are still always up at 3:00am Christmas morning. Ugh. But, it is the one day of the year where they will make me coffee.

Love that comment and hearing about your old traditions and your family. I just read about the history of Elf on the Shelf and it turns out it was a family in America back in the 1970s, which is pretty cool. Or I wonder did your Mum have this going on with her folks, and maybe she came up with it!?
