  2. No, not this year but will defo get one for next year! Read some great reviews and they were even promoted on Good Morning Britain last week. I think he would be good to keep an eye on my four little ones during the run up to Christmas!

    ReplyDelete

  155. We had an elf but it's not an elf on the shelf one as my daughter was scared of it. Our elfs name was Freddie but my daughter always called him Elfie :)

    ReplyDelete

  156. Not for us, I hadn't heard of them until now, will more than likely get one next hear though after seeing yours

    ReplyDelete

  157. No Elf in our house, either, but it has been fun reading about them.

    ReplyDelete

  159. we watched ELF on the telly if that counts

    ReplyDelete

  160. Yes we did and his name was Tony.....unfortunately our big tabby, Billie, kept knocking him down...so he was quickly resigned to the cupboard....hope that counts haah

    ReplyDelete

  161. Ive never heard of elf on the shelf,is it a kid thing are adults involved. May be next year.

    ReplyDelete

  163. No Elf on the Shelf here, I find them a bit disturbing to be honest...I know I'm an idiot!

    ReplyDelete

  164. yes, we had Jingle visit us. Although my youngest called him 'Gingle'.

    ReplyDelete

  165. no, I have no idea what elf on a shelf is.

    No I'm far too lazy and would probably forget most nights!!

    ReplyDelete

  169. No we didn't have an elf on the shelf this Christmas - it seemed like too much work and stress. However, my 8 year old is convinced he had an elf in his room who randomly played Christmas music at 5am (it later transpired it was his alarm clock!) so it looks like we'll have to do it next Christmas! I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time researching tricks! But if it keeps the magic alive for another couple of years, it will be well worth it.

    ReplyDelete

  172. We didn't have one as I hadn't heard of them before reading about yours definately going to have one on our shelf this Christmas

    ReplyDelete

  174. Yes we did, Alfie Trinket came to our house for Christmas, he got up to all kinds of mischief during the night. The girls couldn't want to see what he'd been up to each morning!

    ReplyDelete

  175. no not this year, but will do next year

    ReplyDelete

  176. No not this year as my children where not really old enough to understand but will certainly have a naughty little elf on the shelf next year :)

    ReplyDelete

  178. next year we are going to give the elf a go x should be fun

    ReplyDelete

  179. Not this year but will next year! I've seen some very amusing pictures!

    ReplyDelete

  181. our little elf was called Breezy

    ReplyDelete

  182. We didn't have one this year but have so many great ideas from friends who did that we will definitely be getting a visit this year

    ReplyDelete

  183. My 3 children had one each, Davie, Scout and Evie. And they came back today with a wee birthday card and letter for my wee birthday girl and the kids were over the moon they were back lol

    ReplyDelete

  184. No we didn't but what a lovely idea:)

    ReplyDelete

  187. I did not have one although I did try to win one. Was unsuccessful unfortunately.

    ReplyDelete
