It’s almost time for our Elf on the Shelf to make his arrival for the year. I always start out with a lot of energy and excitement about the ideas for our Elf each Christmas season, but then there are those days where you are just completely spent, and you realize on your way to bed that your elf hasn’t moved. I’ve rounded up 15 ideas for your elves for the days when you forget, are too tired to spend too much time on an idea, or are just short on time!
