Warning: There Will Be Elf...

For those of you haters (ahem....Stephanie...) of the Elf on the Shelf, stop reading. For the rest of you - those who enjoy the Christmas spirit, understand how the Elf contributes to good behavior, and can look past said Elf's creepy expression - enjoy our Elf, Buddy. Ethan is delighted to see where Buddy is each morning, and he is equally terrified that Buddy will rat on him when he misbehaves. If a simple Elf, with a super-cute story to read, can keep my son acting like a civilized human being for a month, I will keep up the tradition until he's 20 and is someone else's problem.
