Christmas Elf & Card Count

This year we have been especially watching our "Elf on the Shelf" moving around to different spots everyday since Thanksgiving.


We should have taken pictures of everyday... but here are a few...

Here is our Elf sitting on the mantle with one of Grandma's Nylon Stockings.   (See, Mommy's nephew asked Mommy -- when are you going to hang the Stockings up for Christmas?  Well, Mommy jokingly decided to tape one of Grandma's nylon stockings to the shelf and  told her nephew -- All done the "Stocking" is hung by the Chimney with care!   

Everyone had a good laugh... Grandma even said... "Well at least Santa's got somewhere to put MY present!"


The Elf got in on the joke too, and the next morning we found the "Elf on the Shelf" with his leg in the Nylon Stocking!




Here is the Elf sitting in a Flower Arrangement on the Mantle looking at our $16.99 eleven year old Christmas tree.  

The Elf hanging from the Cuckoo clock.  (The clock doesn't keep time right -- so, it's basically just a wall decoration.)

  11. My Babci used to hang her cards like that, all around the opening from her living room to the dining room. I forgot all about it until I saw your photos. Thanks for sparking a little memory in my brain.

    Merry Christmas, and I know that elf is telling Santa that you've all been very, very good!

  19. Why the poor elf never knows where his home is and he must be very confused. Maybe he needs a Mensch on a Bench and then they could share the bench and be happy. Wishing Lassie and Benji and family a very Merry Christmas.
    Thanks for being a friend
