I am starting to get very excited about doing this again this year. I sat last night and typed up a list of elf things to do. I have approx. 9 days with blank spaces so far which isn't too bad but I have a feeling when i rummage through the gift draws there will be a few "elf" type bits that I had forgotten about. I am also sure that a trip to a poundland will give me a few more cheap ideas. I need some inspiration for mischief - as that went down the best last year, i think sellotaping the other xmas characters to the huge windows in our lounge will get the best reaction this year :rotfl:

When I have a full list i will post it up, lots of them are the same as in the second post of this thread but there are a few new ideas.

I've been thinking of some new ideas too this year! last year we 'performed' the takeaway box idea... we moved the car and had mcdonalds papers over the dashboard ... the elves had even put my stereo on 'full blast'!! kids thought it was hilarious... not sure if the neighbours did at 8.55am!!

My son has started school this year and I have a lot of new recruits to the elf thing... from school and my little DD's playgroup mums... am hoping we can get up to some 'combined mischief' this year!!

I have compiled a list of past ideas and new ones for them all too.. so may be able to combine some of the newer ideas with you too little_lil! x

P.S I love the sellotape idea!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has PM'd me to go on the Christmas Card list!

I now have 16 names on the list.

Just to emphasise, the idea of this list is that you work your way down and send each 'elf' a card.

If anyone isn't prepared to send this amount of cards out can you please PM me requesting that I remove you from the list.

Thank you x

The Christmas cards had to be one of the best aspects of the elf last year because DS could not work this out at all. He is probably one of the older children 10 nearly 11yrs and a lot of the belief is gone but we still all had great fun with it. Every time a card arrived I would point to the postmark and say "but look it has come from ***** and I have never been there" I even showed him on a map one location because it was so far away. If our elf receives 16 cards from all over Britain DS will have no idea how we did it :rotfl:

Not sure what the postman thought of all the cards to Christmas Crackers Frosty-Toes though

Thanks again lexuslass for sorting this :T
