An Open Letter to Parents Who “Elf on the Shelf”
Dear Parents that do the Elf on the Shelf thing,
Firstly, I need to commend you on your commitment and dedication. Thinking up something different to do with your elf doll every day for almost an entire month, year after year, is no mean feat. I know loads of you guys do it, because over the last few years, December on social media has become an elf-saturated vortex of people displaying the imaginative and adorable ways that they have posed their elves each day, presumably to surprise and delight their children. Good on you guys! However, I will not be encouraging any elves to adorn my shelves. Not a chance. It’s nothing personal. In fact, it’s fair to say that it’s not you- it’s me.

But these are not things I’d want to hand to a loved one!
Know anyone like this? Ha Ha Ha Ho Ho Ho!
