PHOTOS: Teen Takes Family's 'Elf on the Shelf' to the Next Level

PHOTOS: Teen Takes Family's 'Elf on the Shelf' to the Next Level

One family's "Elf on the Shelf" tradition took an extreme turn when their teenage daughter volunteered to take on the task of controlling the family's three elves.


For those unfamiliar with "Elf on the Shelf," parents place stuffed elves strategically around their house while their kids are asleep, changing how the elves are set up each night, and the elves supposedly report back to Santa with any naughty things they catch the kids doing. Think Big Brother, but jollier.

18-year-old Alexis Elliott of Ohio offered to help continue the tradition when her parents ran out of clever ways to set up their elves. According to an interview with BuzzFeed, Alexis' parents had set up the three elves, named Buddy, Simon, and Timmy, for the past several years because "everyone just gets a kick out of it."

"It's funny to see the kids' reactions," Alexis' mom added.

And since the family tends to lean toward the "naughty" list, Alexis had no trouble finding things for Buddy, Simon, and Timmy to critique her siblings on.

For her brother Britton, Simon the elf got in his case about his drinking problem:

Let's take a closer look at that note:

For sister Jordan, Timmy the elf didn't like some of her language on Twitter (or her running after her brother with a big knife):

And finally, for brother Jayden, Buddy the elf needed to address a bit of an oral hygiene issue:

Alexis posted the photos on Twitter with the caption: "My parents let me do our elf on the shelf last night for my siblings and all I gotta say is this elf doesn’t play around lmaoo"

Twitter definitely enjoyed the clever roasting:

And, thankfully for Alexis, her parents got a kick out of the notes too. "We were dying," Alexis' mom said, while her dad "thought it was awesome."

Sadly, the notes aren't really that off-the-mark, with her mom acknowledging that, "Yes, unfortunately" the accusations are "true," although perhaps they were a bit exaggerated.

And while Alexis' dad might try to top her notes next year, it'll definitely be a challenge. But he does have a bit a of a leg up in one regard. "Since they're my children I have a lot of information," he noted. "I can dig up stuff from the past."

We can't wait.

Seth Meyers Responds To Trump's 'Truly Deranged' Personal Attack Against Him With Hilarious Takedown

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

People Share The Best Ways To Shut Down A Debate With A Flat Earther Family Member

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
