Elf on the Shelf

The Elf on the Shelf is a cute idea but he/she just creeps me out. They fly back to the North Pole every night and then have time to reek havoc on your home overnight and you wake the next morning not knowing where the little booger is? No thanks! CREEPY! Oh you say "He's not real Nancy!" Oh yeah! Well, he was caught on video camera!

The Elf on the Shelf—whether you find him cute, annoying or somewhere in between, he's everywhere these days, making the holiday season even more complicated for parents. We did a little investigating on this elusive creature that has become a phenomenon, and discovered a few things we didn't expect.

The following video of an Elf on the Shelf may shock you. Grab the kids and watch closely. If you own an Elf, be vigilant about where he/she/it is at all times.
