SNOW QUEEN

Four years ago Aunt M mailed us Elf on the Shelf.  Back then I had never heard of such a gimmick, but I quickly caught on and the Elf has made an appearance at our home ever since.  Our elf just moves from spot to spot and watches the kids - no fancy tricks or Pinterest worthy pranks.  We keep it simple.

When I searched for our Elf at the beginning of this Christmas season, I found a white felt skirt unopened.  I decided to change things up, so our Elf was a girl this year.  I'm not so sure it went over as well as I thought it would!  Previously, JP and AA had named our boy elf "Chippy."  When the girl elf appeared, I suggested the name "Chiperella"or "Chipette."  Nope.  The Elf name this year?  Snow Queen!  (and A calls her Drag Queen).

Next year Chippy better return!
