The Elves have returned! That’s right everyone, our beloved Elf on the Shelf has come home from the North Pole to report how good or bad we have been to Santa. Let’s check out some naughty and nice places our elves have been spotted in.

First off, let me introduce you to my elves. Peppermint is an original elf and ever since I was young, she has been known for her mischievous yet creative hiding spots. Later, Bandit, Ginger, and Jinx joined our family; let me tell you, there has been so much action in our house. As I mentioned, Peppermint was our original elf who was continuously creating commotion, but she always had creative hiding spots. Once the other three came along, everything just became more amazing. The four never fail to amaze my siblings and me with their creative shenanigans.

A few iconic tricks they have pulled from the North Pole include the marshmallow bathtub and the quarantine box they arrived in a few years back during Covid. The marshmallow bath one has to be my favorite. It was so adorable to see them hiding in their bath of marshmallows. It was always so hard for me to not want to eat the marshmallows, but of course it was super hard to resist, but it was okay because my mom never found out. Don’t worry, I made sure not to touch the elves.

Aside from this unique spot, my siblings were extremely sad when our elves did not come for awhile during the pandemic, but when they did, they took full precautions and came in a box to make sure they did not bring any germs from their home. Overall, I am very confident in saying that my family has been blessed with very creative elves that have given us a lot of adventures and have hidden in new spots every day.

HAVE A SAFE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ROYALS!
