LOL. I think the “official” elf on a shelf has red legs, not striped ones. Maybe this IS the stripper version.

Never understood Elf on a Shelf. It does look like someone is home for Christmas. That looks like an adapter for European outlets.

All I can say is ‘wildly successful marketing.” There’s really no other explanation. Also, hyper-Christian circles got into it for a while.
That’s definitely the English socket on the right there.

he’s cute. We have a bit of an Elf on the Shelf allergy here in the US, though.

I agree looks like a knock off version. There are many Elf’s on the Shelf at the primary school I work at and they all have plain red legs. The face don’t look right either. The younger kiddos at the school love Elf on the Shelf. Last year working at the school was the first time I saw the Elf. Rather have a Gnome.

LOL. Gnome in the Home?

No we have a Nordic shop in town that sells all different things from the Nordic country’s. Mine are from Sweden.

yeah, I was kidding. Thought there is a Jewish variation: “Mensch on a Bench.” Glad yours at least are authentic!

My nephew’s wife has posted elf on the shelf every day since the week before Halloween. EVERY day. If that sucker is still around by New Year’s I can’t be responsible for what may happen.

Careful. They can get violent.

I’ve only been discovering this year that Elf on a Shelf seems to be such a big deal in de US. I mean, I knew it existed but apparently it’s much bigger than I ever realized.

It’s only been around for a decade or so. I’m hoping it’s reached its peak as a fad and can now recede into the history of bad Christmas -related ideas.

I have no clue re that craze, I’m not connected enough on the interwebs these days since I shun er.. meta and am mostly absent on twitter. Glad elfs not that big here, I’m a Santa person only 🙂

the deal is the Elf watches your kids so they behave.

Ohh, how very creepy! I definitely don’t like that!

I agree. It’s bad enough that Santa Claus sees me when I’m sleeping.

It’s probably just me but I find those shelf elves really creepy. It was never a thing here in Ireland, so luckily I never felt tempted to torture (threaten?) my kids with the “informer”…

I feel like yours is the majority opinion (and certainly among my friends).

And yet, it’s so popular… Ah well, the power of marketing, I guess.

I think for people who really get into the playful piece of Christmas, it’s probably attractive as it’s something to do to pacify the kids all the way through the holiday (like a more interactive advent calendar). I’m kind of damaged. My parents were not big on the secular aspects of the holiday anyway — “Jesus is the reason for the season” was the motto in our house.
