Elf on the Shelf Book + Plush Set Review & Giveaway {Ends 11/23}
GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Congratulations to Ann P. from North Carolina!I love Christmas traditions. Trimming the tree, listening to Christmas music, baking treats and watching ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas to name a few. This year I'm so excited for a brand new (to us) Christmas tradition - The Elf on the Shelf
. About Elf on the Shelf: Year after year, children and adults alike are baffled by the mystery of how Santa really knows who’s been naughty or nice. After much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has allowed his biggest secret to be revealed in The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition . Touted as “The best thing since The Night Before Christmas” this gift set includes a North Pole pixie-elf, hardbound children’s book and keepsake box. Children can register their elf online and receive a special response from Santa.
The fun part comes as a special holiday game. After the Christmas decorations go up, this magical little elf will appear somewhere that your child will notice within the house. What is he doing?? He's keeping an eye on your for Santa, of course! Each day leading up to Christmas the elf (with a little help from mom and dad) will magically appear at a new location in the house. The kids will love finding him, and will do their best to be good little boys and girls during the holiday season. The one major rule is this: you can't touch the elf, or his magic will disappear! If he doesn't have any magic left, he won't have a way to get back to Santa at the North Pole!
On Christmas Eve, the little elf will disappear entirely to report to Santa. :)
I've wanted The Elf on the Shelf
since our daughter was born. This Thursday, she will be two years old, and our elf (whom we have yet to name!) is on the way to our house as we speak! BUY IT! The Elf on the Shelf
is sold for $29.95 and can be found on Amazon.com. WIN IT! Holly at Nap Time is giving one lucky winner their very own Elf on the Shelf this holiday season. Open to US residents ONLY - please do PO boxes. Winner will have the choice between light-skinned blue-eyed elf and dark-skinned brown-eyed elf. Winner will be contacted by email and will have 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen.
I would love to win this because we're expecting Baby #1 and I think it would be cute to have this for when they are born to make our own family tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this because (as you know) I could use a little elf to watch over all these children that I care for. Plus all the grandchildren would be so excited.

I love how we always exchange gag gifts with my Mom's extended family rather than real gifts. It gives lots of laughter, is inexpensive but oh so fun and makes for some great memories!

I would LOVE to win this for my 2 Grandkids... tried to get them 1 last yr & they were sold out!!! Thanks for the chance...
ReplyDeleteSince I was a little girl, my family has always kicked off the Christmas season by celebrating "St. Nick's night" on Dec. 9th - it was started by MY Grandparents, we con't. it w/our kids & now have started it w/our Grands... everyone puts their shoes outside the door, & if you've been good, St.Nick brings you a gift & leaves it for you. If your behavior needs improving, "Old Pete" may leave you some rocks, to let you know that Santa is watching & you better be good (for goodness sake!)
ReplyDeleteI have two boys, and one girl~they all would love this!

My favorie Christmas tradition...
ReplyDeleteChristmas morning we have a long drive to see family and it's just hectic in general so wedo our own litle thing on Christmas Eve. We put our son to bed early in our bed. After he is sleeping we go in his room set up a Christmas tree and lights just for him and put all of his gifts under his tree. We wake him up and make some excuse like we thought we heard something. He thinks for a second then makes a mad dash to his room and I just love seeing his eyes light up. I don't know how long we can keep it up or how old we'll be when it won't work but for now I enjoy it.

ReplyDeletemarika200@hotmail.com
i'm the oldest sibling and one year my mother called me and two other siblings together and told us that there would be no presents that year, except for our little sister who still believed in Santa. We told her we understood and tried hard not to think about it. Christmas morning there were two small presents for each of us. Granted, it was something she made for us, but it is still the best Christmas I ever remember.

The Elf on the Shelf would be a fun and exciting tradition to begin with my two little ones (ages 3 and 4). I believe The Elf would be very encouraging for them to behave extra good for Christmas ! [;

ReplyDeleteOur favorite Christmas tradition is going to service on Christmas Eve then driving around and looking at Christmas lights. When we get home, they get to open their Christmas Eve present which is always a pair of Christmas pajamas. We then watch Santa Claus is Coming to Town and drink hot cocoa and have a Christmas cookie

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting one of these for our kids for years. No time like the "present" to get one for our home. I love the story and creating a new tradition. Thanks for this GREAT Giveaway!!
ReplyDeletencjeepster@aol.com
Our favorite Christmas tradition is wrapping gifts and shopping for groceries for a family in need. We all pick out a extra something that is just from each of us. We try to stress the giving is the best part of Christmas and that's why Jesus was born as God's Gift to the world.
ReplyDeletencjeepster@aol.com
I would love to win this for my boys-we've been thinking this year we would start this wonderful tradition!

ReplyDeleteI just found out last night from a friend that there is a family that needs help for Christmas. They are kind people, always do fundraisers and help others and now they have lost their jobs and their house may be foreclosed on and have no money for Christmas. They have 2 small children and I would love to win this for them for Christmas. Thank you for the giveaway.

I'd like to win because this "hiding the elf" tradition was so fun when I was young. Our elf melted when some of the Christmas lights malfunctioned, so a replacement --and a book!-- would be marvelous. carriethegood(at)gmail
