I know I’m not the only parent who finds herself anxiously searching Pinterest for “simple Elf on the Shelf ideas” right before her kids wake up, right? Our Elf on the Shelf returns every December 1st and my kids excitedly begin their countdown on Thanksgiving Day. I gave up early on with wild and crazy ideas for a few reasons.

Holiday Countdown with our Mischevious Elf and Swedish Fish

Number 1 – I’m just not that creative. It’s not my ministry. I own that. I just want to have fun and deliver some holiday magic.

Number 2 – my memory is horrible hence the early morning Google and Pinterest searches.

Number 3 – seriously, it really doesn’t take much to bring a smile to my children’s faces. The magic is in the enthusiasm we all have as we get closer and closer to Christmas.

Cross this off your list today – Simple and Fun #ElfOnTheShelf Ideas for your family

A few years ago, I began planning out our Elf’s escapades early on and setting an “alarm” to Move the Elf. It’s helped tremendously. Also, if I happen to be traveling my husband or oldest son can easily step in to help without giving me the “Really?!?” look when I ask them to do something really outlandish.
