What is the Christmas Elf Tradition?
Firstly, you need to meet Elf...
Say HELLO to the Elves - with cute little faces, dinky clothes & festive striped jumper & tights, the Elves are brimming with Christmas charm. Behind this cheeky little face, is Sarah, a mum of two, who wanted to provide a magical Christmas tradition for her children, in the form of an Elf for Christmas.
The Elves LOVE cookies & love to play games. Elf is really good at watching childrens’ behaviour & reporting back to Santa. Elves are also quite good at causing a bit of mischief during the night when no-one is watching! Please beware!
Start your modern family Christmas tradition & bring fun, magic & adventure to your home year after year by adopting your own Elf for Christmas. The perfect way to make magical memories for the little people in your life.
December will never be the same again!
Why do we have An Elf for Christmas?
Elf usually arrives on December 1st, sent on a special mission from the North Pole & instructed by Santa Claus to keep an eye on behaviour in the lead up to Christmas. Your Elf toy comes with a complete Christmas Elf Magical Reward kit to help you create fun & magic & make sure your little ones believe. We will send your Elf & Magical Reward Kit out once ordered, it's up to you to get your Christmas Elf out & set it up on December 1st, or whenever you think best.
Elf has arrived - you are now under Elf Survelliance.
How Does It Work?
Each night mum, dad, carer, teacher (or whoever is in charge of the Elf!) sets up the mischief - our Elves have been known to spill breakfast cereal, play with toys, climb up the Christmas tree, leave footprints across the hall, scatter underwear around the house, paint mums nails with funny patterns, wrap things up with loo roll & much worse!
Some days you will find your Elf has been kind & helpful, setting the breakfast table or getting the laundry done...
Elves can also suggest "kindness activities" you can do as family in the run up to Christmas. We will share ideas on our blog about "kindness ideas" which could include baking for an elderly relative, visiting a neighbour or donating a Christmas gift to charity. Elf may leave a note to encourage this kind of behaviour - it's up to you, you can make Elf as kind & helpful or as mischievous as you like!
You just never know what Elf will do next!
What is in My Christmas Elf Kit?
Your Christmas Elf Toy arrives with a welcome letter, explaining Elf's role in your home. Elf brings a behaviour chart & a sheet of stickers, Elf Report Cards & two Nice List Certificates that can be used to reward good behaviour, Beware of the Elf signs for your door & a Thank You postcard you can use in January to continue the magic.
There is also two blank Letters to Santa Claus, ready to post your letters off to the big man himself, and a Goodbye letter for when it's time for Elf to go back to the North Pole. The kit is designed for a family with two children (some items are shared) and you can order refill kits for larger families or for use each year.
We will supply you with lots of ideas & antics that your Elf can get up to each day & if you register your information, we will send you unique personalised emails directly to your children or class, straight from Santa Claus, with information that your Elf has learnt about you.
It really is magic! All you need to do is believe it!
What happens after Christmas?
An Elf for Christmas, is just for Christmas. On Christmas Eve you can pack Elf away in his box until next year, or as you tell the children - Elves needs to go back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, join their friends in sweeping up the left over wrapping paper & start the toy making for next year!
Elf will leave you with a Goodbye note for your children on Christmas Eve & to keep the Elf magic alive throughout the year, we have personalised postcards that can be sent to you (for a special birthday or as a reminder them to be good over the holidays.) You can find these here.
