THE ELF ON THE SHELF
VISITS FRENCHMAN’S CREEK!
"Elf on the Shelf" is a popular Christmas tradition where a small elf figurine is sent by Santa Claus to watch over children and report back on their behavior, helping Santa determine who’s been naughty or nice. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, he moves to a new spot each night. Each morning, kids look for the elf, only to find him in playful or mischievous scenarios. He’s been known to have “magical powers,” and as long as kids don’t touch him, he flies back to the North Pole with his report. If a child touches the elf, it loses its magic and can no longer fly or fulfill its role. Parents remind children not to touch the elf, adding to the tradition’s mystery.
