Dear Elf,
Now that you’re here, there are some things you need to understand. First, this is a VERY BUSY household. I expect you to pull your weight, and I’ve created a to-do list for you to check everyday. I know you are cute as a button, but you are still, after all, an Elf. So, let’s get started.
-
Please keep track of the Advent Calendars. I think I have about four of them in all shapes and sizes, none of them have the right date. Please, keep us organized.
-
Guard this mixer at all costs. I don’t care what happens, do not let me attempt to make beautifully-decorated Christmas cookies. They will taste great, but they will never be as pretty as they should. So, just to keep me from exploding into a fit of frustration over the next 7 days, keep me away from this mixer. -
Check the Christmas cards as they come in. Make sure that if any card comes in that is not on our list, that they get one ASAP. -
Keep us full of Christmas Cheer. Use the karaoke machine, and start singing some Christmas Carols. Get the children involved in a sing-a-long. Just make everybody HAPPY! -
Please, for the sake of the children, refrain yourself from taking rides on the ceiling fans. I know you are an Elf, and I know you are supposed to be a bit goofy. One boy here already thinks he is a full-blooded superhero, and thinks he should be taking rides too. So, please stop swinging on the ceiling fans.
I’m glad we’ve had this little talk. I know you will be leaving soon, and yes, I will probably miss you, and all your little tricks. But hopefully, our last few days before Christmas can be as stress-free as ever, thanks to your help.
Love,
Susiej
super cute! and i am amzed you had the time to do a photo shoot of the ‘elf’
very cute.
I love the pictures! This is great. 🙂
Louann, I put my kids up to it. They just follow the Elf, and snap pictures whenever they see him busy…
HA HA HA!! i LOVE it! 🙂
I love this! You so crack me up. The karaoke? The fan? That’s one hell of an elf
How do I get one of these in my home? 🙂
What a great holiday post!
That is absolutely hilarious! 🙂 Have a fantastic holiday.
I want an elf, too! So cute and yet so helpful!!
He’s SO CUTE! Look at him swinging from the ceiling fan – ha! Our school never tells us to buy anything even remotely that awesome.
soooo super fun! What creative ideas you’ve got.
My favourite, the one on the ceiling fan. Looks really high, your ladder must have been really tall.
Susie, that was so much fun!! Thanks for the giggle for the day.
LOL LOL LOL!! That is too funny!!
Sorting the incoming Christmas cards…that is classic. LOL

Oh no…!! Not The Elf again!!! Waaaaahhhhh! (Love The Elf).
I love the one of the elf with the cards!!!! Cute photos 🙂
LOL – what fun to have an elf in the house. 🙂 looks like he’ll be mighty busy.
That is one awesome elf! I love all the shots – that is too fun!
VERY CUTE!!! Does he have a brother? Cousin? Father? Male relative of any sort? I would’nt mind having one of those myself! (wink-wink) I need all the help I can get! Ha ha!
May we borrow Mr. Elf? We need someone to get our multiple Advent calendars back in order. Not only are they all on different days, but their hidden surprises are spread all over the house.
wow. that was outstanding. Thanks for putting the PLAY in playing along! brava!
i am seriously rotfl.
that was too funny.
I love it! Does he have a brother that can come live with us for the Christmas season?! I can’t believe the school “made” you buy it, but he sounds like a great christmas tradition now!
I agree, I want an elf too! (I have no worries about ceiling fans) What cute pictures! Merry Christmas!
I am amazed that the elf works not only when you are asleep but when you are awake as well!
Must be fun to do the photo op with the elf!
Glad to see you’re keeping him busy. Elves can get into trouble. It’s good he has a to do list.
I’m loving the elf. He’s quite a character.
(We have the same mixer – a mixer that I am, in fact, completely in love with.)
That elf is so great, Susie. I’m glad the “kids” followed him around for those shots. Cool.
fantastic laugh! Love every photo!
(I heart my kitchen aid too!)
