Elf on the Shelf

We received The Elf on the Shelf from the Owens family this weekend. I was absolutely thrilled because I saw it on TV last year, and I thought it was just the cutest idea.
The elf, whom we named Tom, will arrive every year after Thanksgiving to observe for Santa. Every night he travels back to the North Pole to report what he has seen. Each day Tom will come back and be in a different place. He has started on the fireplace and who knows where he will be sitting in the morning. Ryland will have to find him. The only catch is, the elf can never be touched or played with. He is a great listener but has been told by Santa not to talk back. Everyone better be on their best behavior, so Tom can't report any naughty only nice!
