The Inappropriate Elf Contest

As some of you may know,

there is an old tradition that has found a renaissance lately in craftland.

 

It's the elf on the shelf.

For those of you who don't know...

There is a story by Carol Abersold & Chanda Bell

about an elf who watches children's every move

in the month leading up to X-mas.

The idea is he/she, using magic,

 flies to the North Pole and reports to Santa

 on the children's good/bad

behaviors each night while the kids are sleeping.

Then in the morning he/she is back at your house, in a new spot.

A frolicking game of find the elf ensues.

 

For many of us...that's super creepy!!

A weird little dude lurking around all day

and creeping around all night.

Psychic Policing.

Shudder.

 

BUT, in the spirit of embracing weird

holiday traditions

 as we create our own family.

this year we're in.

 

 

For our own piece of mind, and thanks to

Babyrabies I am also entering

The Inappropriate Elf Contest.

 

Now, for the kids,

this elf will be the picture of

wholesome joy and cheer.

But tuck those shorties into bed

and our elf is gettin' busy.

 

We parents need a little diversion

in this hectic month.

 

Now, I realize my entry is chaste,

compared to some.

I don't plan on winning, just playing along.

I'm keeping it PG here people.

 

I think it's best to be a little naughty with your nice.

 

Our Inappropriate Elf

 

While early morning

visions of sugar-plums danced in his head,

our Elf got a happy feeling.

 

It's only natural little Elf,

it happens to all little boys

 both naughty & nice!
