Young families often incorporate traditions passed on from their own family but it can be fun to start your very own family traditions too. The Magic Elf Tradition has been around for years, though you may not have heard of it. Children write a letter to Santa to request to have an Elf Magic Elf sent to their family for the holidays. Elf Magic Elves are plush toys that come alive each night when sprinkled with magical North Pole snowflakes. They are very adventurous, often helpful and sometimes mischievous. Children awake to find clues as to what the elves did during the night. One of their favorite activities is baking cookies because the flour reminds them of snow. They’ve been known to dump some onto the floor or counter and make snow angels. Elf Magic Elves usually arrive to visit sometime after Thanksgiving and stay with the family through Christmas Eve when Santa picks them up to help him deliver gifts and return to the North Pole. While the elves usually only visit during the holidays they sometimes make an appearance at special events like birthdays or on the first day of school. Children will look forward to spending time with them and creating memories to last a lifetime.
Elf Magic Elves are as diverse as us with a variety of hair colors and skin tones. They like to show off their own style with removable clothing and pajamas known as Elfits. A round trip travel ticket from the North Pole to your home will run you $29.95.

Then one morning last week we woke up to find this:
Hmm…Wilson must have been a little embarrassed about this because I know I took a photo but it’s no where to be found on my camera. He must have deleted it! Anyways…Wilson was a little sad that we didn’t have our Christmas tree so as soon as he arrived he decorated our indoor basketball hoop with Christmas lights! He got a little tangled in the net though and that’s where we found him and had to rescue him!
The next night he must have been missing Santa’s reindeer because we found him riding our plush reindeer decoration. The kids thought this was pretty silly!
Elves are pretty adventurous and mischievous we’ve found out since having Wilson stay with his. He got into my Christmas chocolates the other night and ate a few. His heart was in the right place though because he left a couple out for Jackson and McKinley.
