Oh My Goodness, what a fantastic idea!!!!!

I have never even heard of this but I am fully on board for this year. I have 2 wee boys (7&4) and they will love this.

Just sent a text to DH telling him we are getting a Christmas Elf, due to arrive on 1st Dec, he rang me back in a panic thinking I was pregnant!!!!! I know I have put a bit of weight on but seriously.......lol.

Anyway, I think I will send the boys a letter from Santa telling them they are getting a Christmas Elf to keep them in check and that they have to think of a name for him (will have to be a boy as 'girls stink' except for mummies!)

I can't believe how excited I am about this, I am glad I came across this early so I can start getting things sorted for his arrival now! I am really big on establishing traditions that we do as a family at Christmas and I want to keep it special for as long as I can. This is a really good way of getting them into the Christmas spirit.

Right I'm off out this weekend to find me an Elf, althought I don't want to spend a fortune on one, this is something I plan on doing year to year so might try build a bear. Will shop around.

Any pointers on what you put in the journal? I seen someone mention a letter from Santa? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help x

hi,

in our journal the elf writes daily and puts hints and clues to where he is hiding, things like the boys need to be nice, need to tidy up etc, the boys can also write questions in it 4 elf to answer. i will try and scan a page from our when kids are in bed.

Woke up full of cold this morning so have cheered myself up by looking at christmassy things on the internet and booking tickets to santas grotto...........It's beginning to feel; a lot like christmas!

We've got colds in our house too:( But I got a bill in the post from EDF saying that we have £230 in our account that they're sending back.At first I was worried in case we have an underpayment but I checked our usage last year and our monthly payment will cover us-extra Christmas money:)

At Home Bargains today I picked up some elf shoes with bells on them and a matching elf hat for £2.49. It will do good for the day JJ Jingles decides to make the kids ''dress up like him''.

thats cool, great price - i paid £4 per pair of elf shoes last year!!! my sons leave their shoes in the hallway, especially if its wet/snowy like last dec was. on the night i planned on changing hats n shoes i got em into a snowball fight so they had to "leave hats out to dry" - by morning school shoes znd bobble hats "had gone" (cupboard) and they had elf 1s where they had left theirs. the elves were sat by them covered in magic "fake snow".


are you buying elf oufits as well?
