With a seventeen year old we have no official need for an Elf on the Shelf, but it's still fun to see the idea other people come up with.
When I saw this I sent the link to Sean who said, even though we don't have little kids, we should get one next year to hide around the house anyways. Then last week this version was sitting at Costco for twelve dollars, so it came home with me. I have been teasing Sean that, so far, his ideas haven't been too creative.
Then I walked into see my desk this morning. The elf, which Sean insists should be named "Clarence", apparently dug out Mac's old train set from the toy cabinet and used the little holiday forest that usually sits on top of my computer monitors this time of year.
Nicely done Clarence.
