There's no 'Elf on the Shelf' running around my house, but Mary and Joseph are on their way to Bethlehem!

Leave me a comment to tell me what WEIRD things
happened to you this week!
There is no elf on my shelf as well..but more due to laziness than anything else. Merry Christmas!!
HAHA! I hear ya, Jen!! Sometimes I have wondered about why I started this tradition. In the end I’m glad I did, but sometimes I really just want to be lazy and forget about it! LOL!
Who needs an elf when you have Mary and Joseph, right?
lol, YUP Steph, that’s right! 🙂
Those elves are creepy…. 🙂
hehe- someone else (on twitter) said that too Shash!
I have no elf on the shelf either. As a matter of fact I did a post about it too!
I like your idea though, it’s always fun to slowly reveal things over time, especially to the little ones. My husband also finds that tactic slightly compelling, lol.
Tracy – I just about spit out my tea, I laughed so hard at your husband comment there! LOL!!! I’ll check out your post about Elf on a Shelf after I get mine written (today maybe!?). We love doing our nativity this way – kind of telling the story as we go! The kiddos are 12, 11 and almost 10 now and they STILL love it!
nope, no elf on our shelf either 🙂
🙂
No elves — or shelves in the Jubilant household. Well, closet shelves, but that’s it. I know the Elf is trendy, but I didn’t want to have to explain another mythical character to my children! Plus, he’s expensive . . . I’m cheap. lol
HEHE! I hear ya!
Forgot to mention, I like YOUR idea much, much better!
aw, thanks! I like this way too….. and I was doing it WAY before it was trendy! LOL! (post coming up, soon, hopefully!)
