Luckily, I have talked with my son and had some good conversation, I think. I really need to learn about it though, if even just because I am interested in it. And, I am SURE Santa will still visit, even though we don't have an elf at our house. :-) See, that is the whole thing of it, I don’t know this tradition.

According to "Elf on the Shelf" book (not our particular Elf breed), you are not supposed to "touch" your Elf. If you do, he can't go back and tell Santa how good you were. But seriously, this whole thing is just NUTS! When it gets to the point where kids hurt each other -- that's a problem. Thankfully, our Elf was a gift, and we have one Elf for the family -- yet it belongs to just one of our boys. And everyone seems to be fine with that. Jani, Heather is right.

Love it. Jani--tell your son to remind the kids at school that you're not supposed to tell about your elf. (it says so in the book!) Maybe their elves will go away if they find out their secret has been told. Ha ha ha! Love it.

Jani–tell your son to remind the kids at school that you’re not supposed to tell about your elf. (it says so in the book!) Maybe their elves will go away if they find out their secret has been told.

We don't have one and have no plans for one to come visit and my poor son is taking quite a bit of heat for that at school. One of the kids even said that my son is the only kid in the class who doesn't have an elf so he must not believe in Santa Claus or Christmas. (believe it or not, he said it to me not knowing who I was) Almost broke my heart, but the flip side of that is, I can't let that make me run out and buy one, you know? I'm trying to teach him about family traditions and Christmas Spirit...just because some families have an elf, doesn't mean we have to. Ahh, but the right explanation eludes me...maybe next year there will be an elf far before there is any peer pressure to have one... The elf will be the death of me.
