DH can't follow the simplest instructions and has ruined Christmas!

[elfontheshelfstolemychristmas]

He touched the elf! He bloody well touch the fricken elf! Right in front of the dc!
So now when the dc woke this morning I was asked if I'd moved him as he can't as he hasn't any magic cos daddy touched him.
Bloody men!
So tonight mr elf is off to elf hospital in the hope Father Christmas can restore his magic and make dc believe again before they start to question santa before Christmas

(Btw I do know Christmas is not really---- ruined I am completely over exaggerating that so don't flame me for it. I do have a sense of humour)

The only winner is the manufacturer laughing at at the sheep who fork out £30 for a creepy little fucker

£30?!
please tell me about the Christmas Eve Hamper though...I want to know!

Christmas eve hamper is for Children to open on Christmas eve. We're doing one for DD - will have new PJ's, a book, and a few treats to munch while watching a Christmas film before bed.
I had considered doing elf on the shelf in future, but it seems far too much effort!

Thanks Squedgie, that sounds like a 'new' tradition I could have got behind in years gone by! Quite unlike that elf-creep thing.

We have a fake elf (from Tiger). He's in the fruitbowl right now and I didn't put him there... He's fair game for anyone to play with or move. (He was drinking a miniature bottle of absinthe when I came downstairs this morning).

He monitors the chocolate in the advent calendar, mooches round the living room and will be reporting back to Santa on Christmas eve.

Everyone in the house knows Santa isn't real, but it's a bit of fun, and i"m enjoying finding the Elf in strange places so it's fun for me too.

OP. YABVU.

OP I don't understand why you are so angry.

DS went to bed with the elf last night

Here he is. He's helping us all have fun. He's not a creepy spy like yours is though OP.

I'd be really annoyed if someone came and started spying on me and dc.

In fact I'd probably call the police.

God OP ,I hope you're winding us up.
If not, can't you just tell them.it's like the toys in Toy Story and he only comes alive when no one's around?

Hahaha

Why aren't you allowed to touch them??? It's time this Elfy nonsense was put a bloody stop to.

Come on lads, annihilate the bugger!!

Elf on the shelf a good way of coercing your children into good behaviour by telling them that he 'reports' back to Santa

Snitches get stitches is the term I believe

It says 'if you touch me my magic might go. might.

Perhaps DH got away with it, this time.

We got the decs out today..DS said that is the elf meant to move..I said maybe we have a lazy elf...lol..

We don't have an elf, we have a wooden crocodile

My 8 year old touches the elf,very solemnly and only whilst wearing gloves. Cracks us up

Glad we can't have one because Bastard-cat might eat him and it would be cruel to have him in the house constantly in fear of his life...

This has to be a piss take post ?op where are you

Gerda - That's my kind of Elf!

(I am very drawn to a seasonal Christmas crocodile, though. If wats all the presents during the night. Would save us a fortune ...)

We've got an elf and the kids are always carrying it. They still believe he's magic though. I didn't know you weren't suppose to touch it.

Until I saw all these elf threads I'd never seen the phrase "creepy little fucker" used so often 😂

Your Husband however clearly needs planking by said Elf when he's better - draw on his face when he's asleep and the Elf is holding a marker in the morning??

I'm not particularly a fan of the elf but that is genius

My elf is missing.. Hid him away last year, and noooo clue where he went
Thankfully DC have not asked about him
(Tiger shop version, not the 'real' one)

Space we had the same. He was on the top shelf of a little used drinks cupboard - we had been rather over enthusiastic at hiding him last year. Funny experience being pissed off with your year ago self!
