However, this year I read this FANTASTIC post by Anna at the Imagination Tree, and I knew I had found a kindred spirit. So, with these misgivings, I haven’t jumped on the Elf on the Shelf bandwagon. My husband and I decided last year that we were not going to go with the “He knows when you’ve been bad or good” Santa, as we don’t want our daughter’s behavior to be manipulated by material things. In fact, I have been a little unhappy with what the Santa story has become as well. Here is a little elf who will spy on you, report to Santa, and decide whether you get presents. However, I don’t love the theory behind it. As someone that does leprechaun hunts and has had a fairy door in her classroom, I am more than happy to welcome some elves in too. It is a HUGE craze right now, and I would say that 90% of my students have an elf at home. If you live in the United States, you have probably heard of Elf on the Shelf.
