Meet Thomas the Elf

Santa Claus recently sent Andrew this wonderful gift in the mail to my work address. Actually, that is what Andrew thinks. The real truth is that I went to www.elfontheshelf.com and found out that they sold these gift kits at The Cook's Nook here in McPherson. Basically, this beautiful book and elf doll come together as a set for about $35 plus tax. Each family names their elf who is sent from Santa to act as a behavior liaison for him. The elf then flies back to the North Pole each night after Andrew falls asleep to give Santa a report on his behavior for the day. The elf returns to the North Pole with Santa on Christmas Eve to live with Santa until the following Thanksgiving when he returns to start back up his behavior reporting duties. The fun thing about the elf is that when he returns from the North Pole early each morning, he moves to a different location in your house. Andrew adores getting up early and trying to find where Mr. Elf (Thomas) has chosen to sit and watch him for the day. Another fun thing about this process is the fact that you name your elf. Andrew chose to name ours Thomas. So far, I have seen great results from Thomas!! Andrew really believes, and it is so sweet. We are on day #4, and Thomas has given Santa good reports thus far!!
