And like every year, before Christmas it comes the Advent.
So, to our house (or to my parent's in-law, depending on if we have left our flat or not) will come Clyde, our Elf.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, two years ago we started a new tradition at home.
The Elf on the Shelf
, is a tradition that seemed beautiful to me, and it brings a book telling the story in english so my kids may practice the language.
But, what is it about?
The elf gets home at the begin of the Advent, to watch the kids and to make his/her report to Santa.
We make it coincide with December, the 1st, so he also brings the Advent calendar.
If it's the first year that you have the elf at home, you should put him/her a name, in the book there are some possible names but you may get creative.
The kids cannot touch the elf (you either) or he/she will will lose the magic.
The elf, if there's someone near will not move and will act like a toy, but when nobody is watching he/she may move, change the position or even make some pranks, you only have to take a look on Google Images to see how he/she gets fun XD
Each night the Elf, thanks to the Christmas magic will fly to the North Pole to show the report to Santa.
The kids, each day when they get up will go to look for the elf and to find the new place where he/she will take.
At the end of the visit (December 24th) the elf may leave them an official report saying if the kids will be in the naughty or nice list, here I leave you the one I made two years ago.
What do you think? Do you have any special tradition in your family? Do you already have an Elf on the Shelf?
