How is your Elf arriving?

[Towelonthedoor]

Ours is crash landing!!!!

[AtSea1979]

Oh bugger I forgot about that.
I've lost our elf, moved house and now I can't find it anywhere. Will have to go out and track one down. Hope garden centre has one.

[Pinkvici22]

Mine is on Peppa Pigs car with a letter!!!

[Fresh01]

Aaaggghhh! That's tonight.....

Need to go find him on top of a wardrobe. Love the "I'm back" message might copy that : ) Ours comes with chocolate coins to pay his rent!

Another thing to do this evening.....

[00100001]

Its not 🙅

[Movingonmymind]

never even worked out what this elf ting is so certainly not doing it. bah humbug! enough of a spend/indulgence fest already. which is good. but enough is enough for us!

[PresidentUnderwood]

Think it may involve fake snow and foot prints plus toilet roll. I just need DS 5, to go to bloody sleep.

Yes, he's 5 and he's still awake at 9.30 and no I'm not following the Spanish routine, and yes we do have a bath, book process and yes he does wake up early and yes it does make him a grumpy little shit.

[Glassofwineneeded]

My ds will wake up tomorrow with Elf in his bed!

[Towelonthedoor]

Pink that's ace! So many options! Too many to play out! Too many nights when I will forget. Plus we're on our fourth year....

[Towelonthedoor]

President our 6 year old is still awake. She came down and I had to army till across the lounge to stop her coming in!

[Towelonthedoor]

Glassofwine that's scary!

[MsJamieFraser]

Ours came with breakfast and a letter from Santa asking them to write their Christmas lists out, and also a treasure hunt map to find their toy advent calenders.

Excuse the many food options, one child has multiple allergies and has to have allergy free foods which ds1 does not like

[Glassofwineneeded]

Do you think? He's a very cuddly cute elf. Worried bowl me going to frighten the life out of ds - he's almost 9 tho.

[MsJamieFraser]

Sorry forgot to post photo

[Glassofwineneeded]

Worried NOW IM
grrrr predictive text!

[PitBlackwell]

My 8 yo would love it if our elf arrived in her bed! She even hoped for it tonight.

However, I think he'll be on the table with a book for them to read. Must. Not. Forget.

[Towelonthedoor]

Mine love the elf but always cry at night to make sure he doesn't arrive in their room!

[snowgirl1]

We have a rag doll style elf. He'll be arriving at the front door tomorrow (we'll ring the bell) with a little suitcase. If it's not raining I might try to do footsteps in the snow with flour.

[PresidentUnderwood]

Elf had left trail of loo roll to kitchen where he is chilling with golden coins for rent (thanks PP)

[PopcornFrenzy]

Ours ballooned in

[StillWearingOddSocks]

Loving these photos & descriptions! Largely prompted by this thread, mine will ring the doorbell in the wee hrs when we are up but it's still all dark. He will be on doorstep with a jigsaw & a letter filled with glitter. Thought about nicking the smarties idea from OP but didn't know how to explain how he got in (he usually rings bell)


He will have a Disney 1000 piece Christmas jigsaw ( don't judge It's me Christmas indulgence )
He should have advent calendar & Christmas PJs for whole family but he's been disorganised this year

[PrincessHairyMclary]

Ours has taken over the dolls house and filled it with fake snow and brought a Toy advent calendar.

[Towelonthedoor]

Love all these different ways the elf arrives!

[IamSantaClaus]

Ours is clearly a scatty elf who forgot to arrive . Must steal these ideas for tonight

[HollyJollyDillydolly]

My elf is still in my bedside drawer. Forgot to get him out until I saw posts on fb.
Maybe he can arrive when I'm out collecting the kids from school. Love the breakfast idea
