Elf on the shelf goodbye letter

[Dogmatix34]

1st year of doing Elf on the Shelf and I would like him to leave the children their Xmas Eve Hampers when he leaves ( I'm so mumsnet!). Does anyone have any examples of goodbye letters which explain this. The ones I've found online don't mention gifts. Thanks

Iv been thinking about this summit along the lines of

Thank you for letting me stay with u I will report back to santa how good you have been here is a little something santa has send u early for looking after me so well.

Bit naff I know

Haha

I used one the first year which started,

"One last treat / gift before I go
Tonight is Christmas Eve, you know"

It reminds me of the Robert Frost poem about snowy woods

Dear DC,

One last treat before I go.

Tonight is Christmas Eve you know

Here are presents just for you.

I will really miss you two.

Remember to be good each day

When you eat and sleep and play

Santa's watching all you do

and will send me back to you.

I will return again next year

Bringing with me Christmas cheer.

Thanks ashes, that's perfect. I have two DCs as well so won't need to muck up the rhyme!

Oh I'm so glad. Merry Christmas

The first year we had her, ours left a picture of herself waving good-bye from the top of the pile of presents that Santa had left (printed by me from my computer) DD loved it as she then had a picture to remember her by. Could you take a picture atop the hamper before hand and include it with the note?
