the Elf on the Shelf

Lola and I stopped at the book store today to purchase the Elf on the Shelf and while she was taking her bath the elf managed to free himself from the package and park himself on a shelf in the family room. Before searching for the elf we decided to read the book to see what this crazy little elf is all about. Lola learned a few things. She can talk to the elf but he is under strict orders from Santa not to talk back. She is not allowed to touch the elf as this will take away his magic powers. His job is to keep an eye on Lola and each night while she is asleep he will fly to the North Pole to tell Santa if she was naughty or nice. He will be back home each morning before Lola wakes up only in a different spot in the house. Her job is to find him each morning. Her other job was to give her elf a name. She decided to name him Dopey-Dopey and so far she has had an lot of things to tell Dopey-Dopey. A new Christmas tradition begins.
