It all seemed like a good idea at the time. He loves the movie Elf, so I guess I was thinking that maybe he'd imagine the elf was taking some magical journey back and would visit a narwhal or something.
I blew it.
Did you at least pack his clothes in a little zip lock bag?
Have Santa write a letter, saying that elf made it back to the north pole safe and sound, and he was so glad to have the extra help making toys this year.
We've had our elf for like 3-4 years and my kids are still a little freaked out by him. We can NEVER have him in their room in the morning, I think my son would have a full blown anxiety attack. He also can't be doing any of that fun stuff you see on Pinterest. Too freaky for them.
Wtf? Why are you doing this??
Because they also love it. It's weird. This year we were going to start Dec 1 and I was awake early yesterday and they raced downstairs and we're looking all over the house for the damn thing and the younger one cried at the idea that he had not come yet. My husband had to covertly get the elf and put him in a room that we don't use often. They were thrilled when they found him that he had come. It freaks them out a little bit but not enough to not love it.
Your first mistake was letting him hold the damn thing.
Also, Facebook confirmed for me that this is our FOURTH year of the elfette. I can't believe it's still going. Day 3 and it's already the first thing my kid looks for when she wakes up.
I would have the same reaction. I can't stand the elf. One time rachers sent me a picture of their elf perched on the dog's back with a "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME, EAGLES?" and I had the creeps for a full day.

Fuck that elf.
Ha! I forgot about that. I got him out yesterday if you wanted another fun holiday photo! :-D
