I just just love Christmas, no make that the whole of December!

Cookies, fudge, gingerbread, cooler temperatures ( not cold, it’s Southern California) , hot chocolate, late night gift shopping online but most of all….our elf, Elvan , appears!!!

He amuses the children every morning with his antics, hiding in the tree, flour angels, bringing treats , etc.

This of course is only limited by my imagination , and whether or not I even remember to change his location.  I usually have my shower and am settling down in bed when my last waking thought is the Elf. I jolt upright, stumble down the stairs ,and scramble my brain to think of a new place to stage him.

Being as organized as I am, you would think I would have  plan for the 24 days we do this, but this year I don’t. So throw him in a jar and put the lid on, yup that’ll get a laugh! If I forget , I can always claim that one of the children must have made him sad and so he stayed put. Guilt the toddlers??

Sure.

Here are a sample of what our Elvan gets up to .

Goodnight, and yes,  he is in a new place tonight !
