Elf Rules

[Elfnsafety]

First year doing it.

Don’t want to go with the creepy, the elves are watching you thing. Have a girl and boy elf, just them no big kit or story book etc. My plan is to put them in our post box with a letter for her from them. I’m going to say they’re Santas helpers from The North Pole …then what? Where will they go after that? She’ll wonder where they are/why she can’t play with them. I get that I make them do silly things for when she wakes up in the morning…but then where do they go when they’ve done the silly thing? Sorry but she’s smart and won’t get why she can’t play with them/why they’ve disappeared again until the next morning 🤷🏻‍♀️
Also, I read that they leave on Christmas Eve when they go back with Santa and I leave a letter for them saying thank you? For what though?

Hope I’m making sense 😂

I sometimes think the whole Elf thing sounds fun (mine are 19 & 15 so too old when it first became a 'thing') but I just know my DH would have left it all to me to sort out & it would have filled me with seething resentment during an already stressful month. My friend started elaborate tooth fairy nonsense she v quickly came to bitterly regret when her tooth fairy left tiny letters to her DDs - the girls would then reply asking a ton of questions which my friend felt obliged to answer in teeny tiny writing every time they lost a tooth 🙈🤣 so keep things very simple OP would be my advice!

Do it, if they have never had an elf then why not do it now?
