This Mom Had A Genius Idea On How To Get Out Of Moving The Family Elf, Did Not Expect It Would End So Horribly Wrong
In an attempt to keep the holiday spirit alive in their house, one mom has become the Christmas darling of the year on the internet. “Y’all know I can’t stand doing Elf on the Shelf but I suck it up every year and do it to see those precious smiles on my beautiful children’s faces,” Brittany Mease from Wylie, Texas wrote. This time, however, the adventures of Elfis – the family elf – took a hilariously unexpected turn, accumulating over 106K likes and 107K shares on Facebook.
Everything started with a subtle white lie that Brittany planned to pull off on her kids, but it soon backfired, proving that sometimes everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Scroll down to read the amusing story in Brittany’s own words and let us know what you think about it in the comments below!

I refuse to do the elf on the shelf thing. And to the parents who complain about doing it, it's your own fault for starting it in the first place.

Agreed; I think sometimes it's well-meaning grandparents or other relatives who start it, and the parents don't have enough backbone or imagination to get out of it.

This elf on a shelf thing is creepy! Brrr... I'm surprised the Hollywood horror houses haven't harvested him for some jump scares yet!

Right? He could be Annabelle and Chucky's long lost son that is seeking revenge on the family that separated them and made him do stupid stunts for love or some s**t hahahaha

I was told there would be colorful language......perhaps in TX that was colorful but in NY.....not so much.

Discussing fiction vs. nonfiction w 5th graders (10 and 11 yrs old). Me: If I write a report about Abraham Lincoln it's... Class: nonfiction!! If I write a story about Batman it's... Class: fiction!! Student (raises hand): and if you write about Santa Claus, it's fiction! Distraught girl: you mean Santa isn't REAL?!?! Traumatized boy: stares at me with horror, confusion, fear. I spent the next 15 minutes explaining that Santa Claus is ABSOLUTELY real, he was born in Anatolia, he shared his money as a small boy, he helped 3 sisters who needed dowries. I said he spent the rest of his life helping others, especially giving gifts to poor children. I glossed over the dead and buried part. I said his MISSION is still alive today, and people get greedy and think he's all about giving lots of gifts to who wants them, but his real mission is to help poor people. Every Christmas we all help Santa when we donate to help families have gifts, and if we REALLY believe, we'll help the poor all year

I thought I covered that pretty well. I don't believe in lying to children, but I DO believe in the "magic" of people helping each other out. Dad called the principal, said his son cried all night. I'm sorry, the boy is _10_!!

Am I the only one that found it kind of cruel to basically say "you irresponsible kids broke his leg!", I mean, does Santa leave lumps of coal in their stockings too?

I had never heard of Elf on the shelf before a few years ago...and I'm glad I hadn't! I mean (major eye roll) seriously? You have to lie about Santa, plus then convince kids that he sends out SPIES to invade your privacy? For what? Getting More stuff? I think it's awful. Thankful that my son didn't have that creepy thing in his childhood!

If she "quickly tossed him in the oven" then how come he's perfectly propped up inside the grill, ready for his post-accident photoshoot? I suppose she just needed to make the pictures look nice, huh? Oh, and that elf is effing freaky! He only has a foot because of the cast. If you look at his other leg there isn't even a foot! WTH is up with that?
