The Elf on the Shelf<\/strong> is a Christmas tradition in the United States<\/strong>. When you have children, it is almost impossible not to hear about it. We had known this custom since 2016, when an elf arrived in our son\u2019s Preschool<\/strong><\/a>. However, no little elf had yet come to our house. This year, after a music lesson, our son asked us whether the elf would come to our home. He talked about it a lot, in fact a huge amount, and he really hoped to see one appear. So we made a last-minute special request to Santa Claus to send us an elf for the beginning of December.<\/p>\n
