So I'm going to attempt to make this Elf happen this year, but I'm going to use an Elf (Hank) that I already have that looks very similar to the ones you buy. Funny thing about Hank is that I bought him probably the first or second year I was married because we (Mom) always had elves on our tree growing up so I had to have them on my tree. I've decided Hank will be given extra special magic by Santa this year to help keep an eye on Chris and Bella. Chris will be in on the fun since he still believes but is old enough to know how it works now. Much to my relief, he thinks Santa is still pretty cool. And he better because in our house, you have to believe to receive a gift Christmas morning. :) Yep, I'm one of those people! I've never stopped believing. What fun would it be if I didn't believe? I love the magic of Christmas and I love the story of Jesus' birth. Its beautiful.
Ok, enough sappiness. Down to the business of Hank's first appearance. I've consulted with a couple of my girlfriends who tell me their Elf makes their appearance around Thanksgiving. Is that the norm? I'm drafting a letter for his first appearance explaining it all to the children. I'm clueless when it comes to the dos and don'ts of Hank the Elf. So, any advice and/or tips you can give me would be awesome. I will be perusing your blogs to find out what y'all have done. I already have lots of ideas from Pinterest! I hope the kids will be as excited about this as I am.
Wish me luck!
