Our Elf on the Shelf returned to our house on Saturday morning, and after being gone for 11 months, Zippy seems to be feeling right at home again. On Saturday our family went to a local Christmas tree farm and picked out the perfect best tree. During the night, Zippy climbed up and sat near the top of the tree. I guess he was jealous of the other ornaments.
Good thing we have more than one bathroom at our house. This morning Zippy had claimed one all for himself. Selfish little elf!
By the way, if you have an Elf on the Shelf and haven’t yet added wire to his arms and legs, I highly recommend it. I followed this tutorial last year after the second day of trying to position our elf just right, and it’s the only way Zippy is able do fun things like hang from doorknobs and pretend to be a monkey.
