Elf on The Shelf – Family Tradition

Family traditions are very important. We worship the one we have brought from our beloved countries. However, this year our family have adopted a new one. Barbara got a present form her friend. That evening we read a story "The Elf on The Shelf" by Carol V. Aebersold and Chanda A. Bell. Barbara named her elf - Jasmine, just like her friend how wished to share her great experience. Jasmine, the friend, had asked her elf to bring one for Barbara, so she did. Since that day our family became an Elf Club member.
A staffed elf is not just an any toy, it is Santa’s scout elf. Each Elf is assigned to his/her family to watch over and report back to Santa each night about who has been naughty or good. By the morning he/she is back and hides in a different place for a daily hide-and-seek ritual.
Barbara has instantly fell in love with the elf Jasmine, built a bedroom to make her comfortable, created a personal doll house to keep her occupied when she is at school, has been playing around her when back home and looking for Jasmine first in the morning.
The day after Christmas Basia received a farewell letter form her beloved Jasmine.  It really helped her to accept the separation. She truly believes that Jasmine will return the next year.
“The tradition begins when Santa sends his scout elves out to Elf Adoption Centers. Waiting for their families to bring them home, these patient elves hibernate until their family reads The Elf on the Shelf, gives their elf a very special name, and registers their adoption online. Once named, each scout elf will receive its Christmas magic and become a part of the family’s Christmas each and every year.

Excellent listeners and even better observers, these scout elves are the eyes and ears of Santa Claus. Although they cannot be touched, or else they may lose their magic, the elf will always listen and relay messages back to Santa. Taking in all the day-to-day activities around the house, no good deed goes unnoticed; these scout elves take their job seriously.

Each night, after the family goes to bed, the scout elf uses his magical Christmas powers to fly back to the North Pole. Once there, the elf will make his or her daily report to Santa and visit with elf friends where they will tell stories about their beloved families, play with the reindeer, and of course, sneak some of Mrs. Claus’ cookies!

Before the family awakes each morning, their special scout elf will fly back to their home from the North Pole. However, since these elves like to play games, don’t expect to find them in the same spot! While some like to hide in the freezer (probably because it reminds them of the North Pole) and others prefer to sit on the fireplace mantle or hang from the chandelier, these elves love to play hide-and-seek with their families.

On Christmas Eve, the scout elf will listen for Santa’s bell and then fly back to the North Pole until the next season, wishing every girl and each boy a Christmas of peace and a year full of joy.”
