OT: 17 you Elf on the Shelf

it never fails that my wife forgets to move his *** and then she wakes me up at 3 in the morning because she forgot.
I've begun to question my children's intelligence...
...has it EVER occured to them that we simply move the damn thing after they go to bed?? The immaculate conception is the 2nd greatest miracle of the Christmas season. Elfie moving every night beats the hell out of that in my house.

Thank God I am not the only one that feels this way. Had the conversation with a coworker yesterday and said that exact same thing. I am worried about the intelligence of my 9 year old at this point. When to they find out the truth and we can stop moving it around?
Could someone enlighten those of us without small children ... what the heck are you talking about?
The elf is a small doll type figure that shows up when the tree goes up. You tell the kid that he was sent from Santa to watch how the kids act and report back to santa whether you have been good or bad, used your manners............. Every night when the child goes to sleep he flies back to the North Pole and reports what he has seen to the big man. Then he flies back using his special elf magic and hides in a different spot each night.
The kids wake up and the first thing they do is look for where the elf has chosen to sit for the day. The kids cannot touch him for his magic might go and he could not report all the good things that he knows. On Christmas night he flies back to the north pole and will not return until the tree goes up the following year.
Many parents and now teachers use it as a way to discipline their kids. School teachers now put them in class. The burden is on the parent to remember to hide it every single night. We have forgotten a couple of times and just told the kids that the elf like that spot so much that he wanted to land there again. Like I said earlier, makes me question my kids intelligence.
Ours is named Relf, too
And that thing is SUPER creepy looking. It's what nightmares are made of.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll have to tell my son about it for the granddaughter.
I know you were being facetious, but I wouldn't worry so much about their intelligence on the Elf thing ... after all, they (and probably all of us here) believe(d) in Santa Claus. Everything is magic to the little ones this time of the year.

Just do what I did. I got tired of moving his *** around last year (dayum wife's lazy arse forgot all the time) so I just put the little bassturd on a Barbie diving mask and stuck him head first in the sink drain. Then I put a rubber shark in the sink with him and turned on the garbage disposal. Cut that little sucker up. Just stuck some shreaded elf in the shark's mouth and told the kiddos Jaws ate him.
Just moving hell. We had 3 bad elves that created Big messes including rolling the inside of the house, tossing pillow off the couch etc. They stayed around about 4 Christmases too unfortunately
wife usually takes care of it but i had the job one night so i found one of the girls barbie dolls, took her clothes off, put them in the barbie jeep in a 'fun' position and left it by the tree........wife didn't approve.....and as far as the kids go, i don't question their intelligence (both girls), I think they've got it already but are just playing mom for what they can make her dream up.
No doubt. Somebody is rich off of those damn things
My son started asking about Jake about a week before Thanksgiving. Moving him around can be a ***** though

I can't understand why the kids don't 17ing hate that backstabbing little snitch.
Y'all gotta get creative. My 7 year old is a little creeped out by the elf. About a month ago he started getting notes home from school and ****, nothing seemed to work. The elf hasnt been allowed in his room for 3 years now at least. So a couple of weeks ago i put that thing hanging over the edge of his shelf that is right above his bed. He woke up and i heard a scream. That elf was the first thing he saw. He asked why the elf was in his room, i told him "buddy that's up to you, when you start acting up the elf has to watch you closer and keep a closer watch over you". Ever since then he's been a saint!
What's worse? Believing in a magically moving elf or a 400 lb man delivers presents to all kids in the world by sliding down a 2 foot by two foot chimney that most of us don't even have anymore.
