I love your commentary! This gave me a good chuckle today. Thank you!

They named him when they were 4 and his name is awful; not my fault…. however fast forward 6 years later and I want to yell “there is no magic; it’s me! All me! I move him and I”m out of ideas ok?” Not to mention my kids are older and stay up later and now I’m up even later making sure they’re awake before I move him…. it’s a vicious cycle and one I wish I had never, ever started. It does not add fun and joy to my season. Luckily my boys have been happy with him just showing up in a new spot on a shelf or in the tree/ stockings this year and we haven’t had to do anything crazy. It’s the first year I have not had to fish around for excuses for why the elf didn’t move so maybe I’m finally getting the hang of it…. only three more moves to go and he’s out of here!

I would explain that instead of having an ELF at our house, we just report back to Santa by sending an email each evening.

Thank you for reading! I’m so happy you laughed too. I am also thankful that my kids have never really needed the elf. We do so many other fun things through the season that this particular thing isn’t missed, and I get to decide when and if I want to do the other things. You don’t really get a choice with the elf…it’s do or listen to the kids whine about the elf not moving.
