Elf on the Shelf - The Arrival

Well it turns out that Santa has been informed about the children's big move from Ireland to Spain this year and so has sent a little buddy to report back to him on how they are getting on.

Buddy it seems is a bit of a mischievous elf however, and so Sparky has been tasked with keeping an eye on him during his visit.

They arrived this morning via the chimney, in their own little Santa sack with a letter from the man himself explaining what they would be doing. They will spend the next few weeks with us returning to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, until next year rolls around again.

If you have never heard of Elf on the Shelf then this is it in a nutshell: The Elf visits, he comes alive at night, gives his report to Santa and invariably gets up to all sorts of antics whilst everyone is sleeping. Oh, and his shenanigans are often caught on camera.

Whilst some elves get their kicks from swinging on the Christmas tree...

I heart faces

Others go to more x-rated extremes...

And end up like this...

That's an actual cell people - lets take this shit seriously!

I do hope Sparky manages to keep Buddy in check for us. Do you think he will...?
