For those of you, like me, who have never heard of Elf On The Shelf, it has become a Christmas time tradition, where a special little scout is sent to your home from the North Pole to make sure kids are behaving themselves. The Christmas elf can be hidden anywhere around the house, keeping a careful eye on your little ones, before returning at night to the North Pole to make their reports on who has been naughty or nice.

Now, Elf On The Shelf ideas can be a lot of fun for adults too, as they come up with ever more creative places to hide the Elf, as well as play around with some hilarious positions and scenarios in full Christmas spirit. We here at Bored Panda have rounded up our favorite examples of people taking the funny Elf On The Shelf game to the next level, and we are sure you'll find them as amusing as we did! Scroll down below to check the hilarious Christmas decorations out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

I tried to warn Elf that nothing good would come out of hanging out with Chucky.

Should put him and the note with the Christmas cookies to make sure the kids won't eat all of them before Christmas

When you’re drawing on your toilet and you realize your using a permanent marker. Blame it on the elf! He did it! The real question is who would do this type of thing

They should have used mints - those Christmas ones with red/green swirls in them.
