So we got the elf, and are excited to begin this new tradition (even though I think Max is still a wee bit young). Anyway, I keep seeing ideas for elf michief. I thought that you just hid him/her everyday? What am I missing here?

Re: Elf on a shelf question

I think it just depends on what you want to do...I don't necessarily think he has to cause mischief everyday (ours never has yet, because DH seems to be irrationally concerned that if our Elf doesn't remain up high, out of reach, that the boys will touch him?!). So mischief up on a high bookshelf seems stupid and I haven't done it yet...I'm a little irritated with him right now for other reasons, LOL
Anyway, we'll have him doing some "activities" like reading a book, playing with cars, snow angel in flour, fishing in the goldfish, decorating the tree, eating a cookie, etc, but not necessarily making a big mess.
