This year we were blessed with a new Christmas tradition starting at our home. My mother got the kiddos their first ever elf from The North Pole. He is very brightly colored and full of smiles!!!
The first thing in order was to name our new little visitor. The kiddos all agreed on Earl.
Next was to establish rules about not touching him to keep his magic full of strength. You see he watched the kiddos all day long and reports back to Santa each night with the good news and bad.
Each morning the kiddos would promptly look for the happy Earl to find his new location and see what he was up to the night before. They found him in obvious places like the mantle, or on a shelf. And also in silly places like sticking out of the cookie jar, in the bathroom, or hanging from the chandelier. One morning they woke up to discover that Earl had Toilet-Papered our Christmas tree. What?!?!?
On his last visit to see us he left us a message. He got out the cereal box and wrote out 'Jesus is the Reason' with the little pieces. So even with this secular fun, we could still keep Christ in it!!!
