We received "Elf on the Shelf" for Christmas season last year. With Andy only being 1 1/2, we didn't welcome a new elf into our family. This year, we DID. As you may or may not know, the tradition of Elf on the Shelf begins with reading the book about who the Elf is and how he has a role in helping out with Christmas. You see, the elf watches over the house and then returns to the North Pole to report to Santa on whether the little girls and boys have been naughty or nice. Then, the elf returns to a new spot in the house the next morning and watches for Santa from this new spot. Well, Andy didn't get the whole "talk to Santa" bit, but he LOVED trying to find his elf in the morning. Another piece of the story is naming your elf. Andy took a long time figuring out a name for his elf, but finally decided on Wook. We're thinking it's because the elf "works" aka "wooks" for Santa. Or maybe because you "look" aka "wook" for the elf in the morning. But Wook has been part of our daily routine all month. Looking forward to when he returns next year!
