Your Guide to Elf on the Shelf: Ideas for Lazy Parents

Your Guide to Elf on the Shelf: Ideas for Lazy Parents

Do you think you’re an Elf on the Shelf failure? Here’s my confession: My elves are still on the shelf. Literally. As in they are still in the box on the shelf. And I didn’t even bother to bring them out last year.

But my friend Tina and my begging kids have motivated me to action. Tina makes Christmas magical and whimsical with fun, easy Elf on the Shelf creations that have inspired me to open up that box and throw a last-ditch Elf on the Shelf: Countdown to the 12 Days of Christmas.

I asked her to send me some of her latest Elf creations and for the most part, they’re fun and easy!

But here’s for hoping our Elves stay at the North Pole next year. 🙂
