I hate the Elf on a Shelf.
And I hate pictures of your elf.
On a shelf.
Or in your cabinet.
Or the cookie jar.
Or chugging wine and popping pills.
Or doing Barbie from behind.
I know.
It’s so exciting for the kids, they love it, it’s a family tradition…
Well… I don’t care.
I have vowed to never do a lot of things.
I said I would never let my kids watch SpongeBob.
But I did.
I have said I would never buy any crap with Cinderella or Belle or Barbie or Dora on it.
But I have.
I have definitely proclaimed that my children would never go to MacDonalds.
And yes. They have.
But there is still one vow I have not broken.
I have never hit my children with the “Santa is watching” threat.
Or his little mole.
The elf.
How exactly do you get your kids to behave on December 26th?
Nope.
I’m not giving in.
And I will say it out loud. To the world.
We are never, ever, ever, getting…
…an Elf on a shelf.
Like, ever.
But next year, when I cave, let me promise you this.
My elf on a shelf pictures will be waaaay funnier than yours 😉
Thank you for making me Number 1!
I NEED YOUR VOTES TO STAY THERE!

No elf here either……EVER! But, if one does show up here next year, our two elves can go out and party together.
Yeah, drunk elf on a shelf pictures would be good…
We REFUSE to have the Elf on the shelf, too. Like I need one more thing to do around the holidays! It’s another Hallmark sales gimmick for the holidays. Plus, I know my husband would take VERY inappropriate pictures of the Elf.
My kids would dismember that elf the first time he appeared, anyway.
I agree, it seems pretty creepy, huh?
Yes. Blech.
Agree that it’s hokey. However, the person who said its a Hallmark gimmick, I hope you don’t have anything but an evergreen and a straw manger. Because all the Christmas details are all marketing things!
My son is 3 and we got one his year. Jordan can not wait tosee where “Gigi” is in the morning. We don’t do much threatening with him but on occasion it helps my kid with no attention focus AND as a result of Gigi’s arrival my boy now poops on the potty. He didn’t seem to care if it made me proud but he says “Gigi is too proud I pooped on the potty”. So the $30 was worth to not have to by diapers for him to take a crap in!
Hate is a strong word. Save that for the horrifying events happening in this world. We have an elf. And my kids enjoy him. For 24 days he (mostly) moves and the kids get a kick out of it. He’s lazy and doesn’t do much but he makes my kids happy. How can anyone hate (ewwwww…I really dont like that word) that?? It’s all good stuff. There are worse things to “hate” on.
