    73 Funny Elf on the Shelf Ideas, so You Don't Have to Come up with Them, Yourself

    Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas tradition that involves toy elves being placed around the home during December to keep an eye on whether kids are being naughty or nice. Now, we're sure that you have plenty on your plate right now, without stressing about where to next hide the elf in your home - so allow us to help you out, with this one. (Fingers crossed, this claws you some time back for extra sleep/a bath/ the wind-down activity of your choosing...)

    What is Elf on the Shelf?

    Beginning as a US children's book in 2005 by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon has gained popularity in the UK and across the world. In the run up to Christmas, the magical Scout Elves help Santa manage his naughty and nice lists by taking note of a family’s Christmas adventures and reports back to Santa at the North Pole each night. Each morning, the Scout Elf returns to its family and perches in a new spot, waiting for someone to spot them.

    This activity sees parents, grandparents and guardians wake up extra early every morning (or at night after the kids have gone to bed) to place the Elf in a different area or room of the house, usually up to some sort of mischief. It's a firm favourite in many family households as the nearly month-long event sees kids race around the house looking for their Scout Elf each morning.

    As one parent wrote on Instagram: 'And just like that the dreaded Elf on the shelf is back...25 days of torture and sudden runs out of bed in the cold mornings because "s**t I forgot to move the e**ing Elf.. Quick before the kids get up!!!" #joysofparenting #christmas #elfontheshelf.'
