My mother is 82 and her grandparents were from Ireland/Wales/Isle of Mann. She always talked of a leperchaun who was responsible for messes in the house, for missing pens, pencils, that last chocolate brownie. It was very much believed by my sisters and myself until elementary school. Along with this was the sandman who sprinkled sleep in your eyes to make them water and tired, Jack Frost who left lovely artistic patterns on the windows. I betcha “Elf” comes from the same beginnings. Therefore there are no rules. You’re doing it just right. Who will misbehave during SUCH an exciting holiday time when Elf is watching your every move? Great tool for parents and teachers alike.
