christmas elf 2010

little_lil

Here you go little_evo, hope this helps. My letter is based on one posted earlier in this thread which was aimed at a much younger child.



Dear

I am pleased to let you know that you have been specially selected to be the carer of Crackers the Elf for the Christmas period of 2010.

We have been super organised in the toy workshop this year, all the elves have worked really hard and I promised them that if the work was ahead of schedule by the end of November a few special elves would be chosen to go on an adventure.

You will by now have already met my special elf Crackers Frosty-Toes, he is one of the elves chosen to go on an adventure. Most of my elves have never been away from the North Pole and have never met any children and I was hoping you would let him stay with you, to show him around and introduce him to all your friends in your home.



I also enclose some instructions for caring for Crackers, you should read these very carefully and pay particular attention to the sections on Elf Mischief! Enjoy having Crackers to stay and I look forward to collecting him on Christmas Eve when I hope to swop him for a present or two.

With love



Father Christmas

Instructions for the Child Carer of

Crackers Frosty-Toes

• Crackers will arrive with his own sleeping bag, please ensure you settle him in it each night. Please keep him as close as possible to the chimney so that he may feel close to Father Christmas.
• Crackers will also have his own bag of North Pole snow to remind him of home, please don’t open it, just make sure it is also tucked in bed with Crackers.
• Crackers will return home on Christmas Eve, he will be collected by Father Christmas and will give a full report on the behaviour of the child / children he has been staying with.

• Crackers is a very mischievous elf and Father Christmas cannot be held responsible for any accidents or incidents following elf mischief.
• Please be aware that laughing, taking photos of or generally showing amusement at elf antics could well result further elf mischief.
• Most of all enjoy having Crackers to stay, I will look forward to collecting him on December 24 – Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas
Love
Father Christmas

Hello all. I've been lurking since forgetting my password and not getting around to sorting it out :doh:

I got involved in this last year after reading this thread whilst recouperating from an operation. Mr Jingles and Twinkletoes have just arrived again.

I asked ds to get the door while I was getting something out of the fridge. He said he didn't hear anything but I said he was just not listening. I had to hide my face behind the fridge door to stop him seeing me smiling. Straight away he remembered his name from last year and was very happy to see that even though he didn't have his journal (forgot!) he had brought some sweets for the journey. I said that maybe their luggage would be sent separately (oh where do the little white lies end?)

Looking forward to some of the naughty things they are going to get up so

Hello All

I got a small (one person) cake in M&S today. It is sponge with an icing elf on the top, expensive at £1.19 or 2 for £2 but got one for my son from his elf. DS is 9 and to be honest I think it's the christmas elf that keeps his belief in FC going.

Tomorrow he will get a letter from his elf (never seen in person) and the cake. He will also find a letter written to elf from FC, asking elf to keep an eye on DS as he has asked for an expensive present this year and FC needs to know if he is being especially good.

Have fun everyone, we loved having elf last year.

Mine rang the door bell and were found freezing on the snow outside on their sledges.........
.they had advent calendars, post box, clothes, sleeping bags and an elf file.
Kids were/are overjoyed and are just setting them up for the night........I hope they are not too naughty tonight

BTW I saw a post box exactly like the one my elves brought in the card factory for £1.29.
My elves will leave messages in there as will the kids in response.
I also saw snowmen and penguins for 99p if you elves need some company

Hi,
Our Elf, Esme Stripey Tights will be arriving over night. She came last year and was a real hit with my now 5 and 6 year olds.
Looking forward to the look on my childrens face when she gets up to her mischief! :T

Ooh I am so excited! I decided at the last minute today to make a sleigh, which I have finally finished, I have wrapped some presents for my DD's from the elf and packed them in his bag with some chocolate and advent calanders. Have just written in his journal as well for my DD's to read in the morning.

Just need to scatter some glitter snow and take some photos and I am done until tomorrow!

Have fun everyone!

Pleeeeease can someone give me links to other topics discussing visiting elves. I have only seen this topic tonight and Im so excited by it but I have read 10 pages(making notes!) but feel there is a lot I am missing - some conversations I assume refer to posts elsewhere. I have also tried searching but no luck and I promise I am not one of those lazy people that expects everything to come to them in one post!
Desperate now to get an elf(contemplating sending hubby to Tescos to see what he can find tonight as im too excited!), decorationss not going up til weekend so arrival can coincide with that(maybe 'he' will put them up for us to apologise for being late!?) - can also blame snow for his late arrival hehe!

Thanks in advance!

PS Just one question, will my elf do my housework while I sleep or is that expecting too much ?!

Our Santa letter arrived this afternoon along with the personalised card from M&S, kids are so excited. My eldest even pre-empted one of the activities, when I read that the elves were mischievious she said 'oh no I bet they're going to eat our chocolates' lol
