the elf on the shelf christmas tradition

How does Santa really know who's been naughty or nice?

The elf answers the age old question in "The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition". The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition* Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. Included is a 10-inch stuffed "elf" who, during the holiday season, silently perches somewhere in the house from dawn to dusk only to disappear (with some parental assistance!) for his nightly magical trip back to the North Pole. The next morning, he reappears in a different place to resume his task. A clever way to encourage kids to behave!

The Elf on a Shelf: A Christmas Tradition includes:

• An exquisite 10" x 10" hardbound children's book--illustrated by award winning artist Coe Steinwart
• A vintage-like pixie elf doll that sits approximately 8" tall, and a certificate commemorating the adoption of the elf by a family, teacher, or other group.
• Additionally, this unique gift includes a festive keepsake box for convenient storage.

The purchase of The Elf on the Shelf allows you to give more than a gift. Instead, you are giving a priceless treasure...the creation of lasting memories.
