Freestyle Friday: I don't do the Elf

I don't do Elf on the Shelf. There, I said it.

I see the millions of Elf on the Shelf idea pins on Pinterest, and it makes me shudder.

Why? Let me break it down for you.

1. The elf is creepy looking.
2. It's yet another thing I'd have to remember to do.
3. Emma already knows Santa and I are pals and are frequently in communication, so why do we need an "elf spy" at the house to report back to Santa?
4. The elf creeps me out.
5. Call me lazy, but I just don't want to.

If your house participates in the Elf on the Shelf tradition, more power to you. We're going to refrain from it at our house. To each his own.
