re: elf on the shelf fail.

Quoting Not tellin:" That might be a great idea. Perhaps have her doing something silly with a letter and maybe a "gift" ... [snip!] ... use one type of paper for Santa gifts. When Zippy brings something, it is in the same paper so the girls relate it to Santa. "

great ideas thanks. Im going to give him a few days and bring her back again on that date i orginally planned. We had planned to have it come with a north pole breakfest and do a 25 days of christmas with a count down of books instead of our regular advent calander. so i think it may go over well that way.

I found the breakfest idea on pintrest. and the books we decided because he needs new books and figured that would be a fun way to do it and he would see it as special rather then going to the store and buyinh a bunch of them
