My kids have all loved “Elfie” but he’s good and funny and sometimes brings gifts and would never do anything mean so they have no reason not to I guess 🙂

Not surprised really. I don’t get it. I’m so glad it came out after my son was too old for it.

it sure is quite creepy!

I never did elf on the shelf

I’m doing it this year for yhe first time as I’ve gotten sick of the kids nagging me. But I don’t make it do things, he just moves to a different spot each night.

I don’t plan on having one. I think it would give me anxiety having to come up with a new scene every night. And I can see how it would scare some children

Indeed, some children and adults have fears about dolls.

I agree that this is a creepy and stressful activity to do for kids and I definitely won’t be doing it as my daughter gets older. There are a lot of other fun and imaginative ways celebrate the holiday season.

My daughter was terrified of our Elf on the Shelf when she was younger! Unfortunately she got over it and now I spend all my evenings trying to be creative…

Im too exhausted to even think of things for an elf on the shelf to do. He would simply gather dust in my house. I’ve heard of lots of people being concerned about Santa too coming into the house while they sleep to drop off presents, some kids just do much better knowing the truth.

We don’t do this. I find it quite annoying tbh and some adults really take advantage by some of the nasty things they do to their kids with it!!!

There is something about their creepy little faces. We don’t elf in our house! I think my 4 year old son would also get quiet anxious about it creeping around the house.

We don’t do the elf, just haven’t seen the appeal

I knew it would drive me mad, just another thing to do, so my kids just “miss out” on this one!

Aww poor darling
