If you haven’t seen him already, you will. You might even have one in your home. The Elf on the Shelf is based on the children’s story of the same name. The tradition goes like this; he hides in people’s homes and reports all daily activities — the naughty and nice — to Santa Claus at the end of each day. By hiding in a new spot each day, the elf plays an ongoing game of hide and seek with the family. Elves on the shelf are now appearing in places like restaurants and clothing stores. He might even be at your place of employment. So stay on your best behavior this month. “You know who” is watching and you never know from where.
