This year we added a new tradition to the holiday season. It is known as The Elf on the Shelf. As you can see he is a cute elf and he comes with a children's book. The book describes the reason for him coming to your house and the rules while he is there. Basically, he is Santa's helper and he watches Emily by day, and at night he goes to report to Santa on her behavior that day. Each morning Emily has to find him in a new spot in the house. There are rules which Emily must follow....She has to name him (hence Johnny), She may not touch him (or his magic will disappear), she may talk to him but he can't talk back (Santa's rule)..... Emily , being the rule follower she is, had no problem with this. I have to say it has been a lot of fun having him around and I am pleased to report that he only gave Santa good reports on Emily as she is a very good girl.
