If you're the parent of a young child, there's a pretty good chance you've found yourself sucked into the yearly stress-filled hellscape ... ahem... tradition that is Elf On The Shelf. There are really only two ways to go with this. Either you're going to be the parent who gives in to the madness and runs with it to possibly inappropriate extremes; or you're the parent who forgets about the stupid thing constantly. Nobody is really just "good" at Elf on the shelf.
We suppose there's a third option - rallying passionately against the surveillance and reclaiming your liberties. Either way, Elf On The Shelf posts on Twitter are at an all time high. Whether people love them or hate them, Elf on the brain is so real. How do you not spend all day thinking about a doll whose entire back story is watching your children at all times and reporting their activities in detail to an elderly man who thinks about them when they're sleeping? Right?
Let's check in on the over-elfchievers... those brave warriors who truly commit to their elf's mission; for better or worse.
Some of us live in a totally different elf reality than those over-elfchievers, though...
And sometimes things just go way, way off the rails.
So ... um ... Happy Holidays we guess? Oh, and if you're looking to get out of elf duty and your kids are Harry Potter fans, you can just do what I did. I told them Santa gave their elf a sock. The extra 20 minutes of sleep each night is glorious.
