So, yeah. This happened. Apparently our homemade Elf on the Shelf just wasn’t going to cut it this year. The other night I was informed by my son (through tears, might I add) that he and one other child in his class were the only ones who didn’t have a real Elf on the Shelf. Naturally, this melted my heart and I had to put in a special call to Santa. Whoever came up with this is laughing all the way to the bank.
