Some Christmas traditions can’t be ignored, especially if they mean the world to your precious kids

She, er, I mean Elfis even wrote this cute letter, explaining everything to the kids
But after the 2 weeks, things took an unexpected turn
It wasn’t a sight for the fainthearted
But the family enjoyed the magic of Christmas nonetheless
People quickly fell in with the story, nominating Brittany for mom of the year

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?
I just find it hard to believe that the kids(especially the elder boy)still believe there is such thing as elf. I mean it's clearly just a doll. But lly is doing right by thinking he won't tell on her. She is on the path of annoying ppl I like that. Maybe it was just me bt even as a kid I could tell there was no such thing as these
Elf with barbie head in one hand,and a bloody knife in other?Hilarious xmas hi jink.
Assuming the "Gray" is an older kid, as the story leads on to believe, seems a little old to be believing in all the "elf of a shelf" nonsense? I just find that strange...is this a Millennial parent thing?
What am I missing? I've read this twice. There's no punchline, it's not humorous... wtf is the point of this story? She put a toy in the oven and forgot and turned the oven on...AAAAAAND?
I'm so glad my kids grew up before the whole Elf on the Shelf thing! When they misbehaved, all I had to do was start singing, "He sees you when you're sleeping..." and they'd straighten right up. Sometimes they even joined in.
LOL we didn't have Elf on the Shelf when I was a kid. We never really believed in Santa because I asked my mom if he was real when I was pretty little and she didn't want to lie, but she still called her closet the North Pole extension office and said the presents would be returned if we went in there.
I am disturbed by how little damage there is to that thing. Is it made of asbestos?
This is seriously the best Christmas story I have heard in a long time! Thank you for sharing! I laughed so hard, I cried. Thank You!
This was hilarious and also exactly why I never got involved with this weirdness!!
That face of Elf be like - Seriously mate, Oven? Jesus Christ, why would you do that.
Some dishes need specific time to be finished so it is good idea to preheat the oven. Modern electric ovens are usually quite fast at preheating, for example my oven needs less than 5 minutes to reach 225 degrees Celsius or more.
