We received this as a gift last week (thank you Allison). I have to say it is the coolest Christmas tradition ever, here is how it works-
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. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.
We named our scout elf "Oliver" and every morning the kids bolt out of bed to find Oliver and his new location in the house. It has also been fun reminding them that Oliver is watching and going to report to Santa. I would recommend this to anyone with young children.
