    Jeez what's with all the grumpy shites in this thread! My 11 and a half year old jumps up every morning in December dying to find out what the elves have been up to! We don't post pictures or videos online so don't have any Jones's to keep up with. It's just a new extra magical part of Christmas. We don't have many years of Santy left now so we enjoy every minute of it

    Time is contagious, everyone is getting old.

    Is something based on a commercial book first published in 2005 really a "tradition"

    Come back to us when he and any siblings all have their own elves, you're tearing your hair out and blaming your other half when it's forgotten before bed, you've run out of all possible situations to use, and your son is about seven.

    It's a lovely concept that quickly becomes a rod you made for your own back.

    Protip: 1 elf per house.

    Take is from one who made the mistakes..

    Ok you define a tradition so?

    Myself and my wife have yearly traditions we do every year since we've been together, do they not count until a set time?

    My wife started it so when I'm not arsed I make her come up with something, she's not impressed when I wake her to do the elf. I'm getting lazy, my best this year is photo copying their backside on the scanner. Other years we, gift wrapped the remote, the Tv, (doubled down and gift wrapped the kitchen) we've blocked door with gift wrap paper too.

    She's away so I've to do it tonight - dam

    The amount of parents I know who have been caught moving the elf is unreal. Sh*te like this pulls back the veil. And once the kids know the elf is not real the next step is only round he corner.

    But if parents get to joke about pretending the elf pooped bran flakes it’s all worth it eh

    It definitely becomes a drag. We never got into the naughty element but we did exchange notes. Don't go.down that path. Bad enough having to think of new places each night...
