As a dad with a four, three, and two year old, I’m in full support of this.
I don’t remember elf on the shelf as a kid.
The whole concept is creepy and I’m comfortable teaching my kiddos to be good to impress Santa - whose existence is on par with spider-man, superman, etc. - so he’d WANT to give them presents, for being good humans.
But I fully admit i still don’t know what I’m doing 95% of the time as a parent…
EDIT: by “in full support of this” I mean abandoning the practice of elf on the shelf, not bounding and hooding said elf
I actually like the elf. Me and the wife have fun moving it around. One point we set it up with a crossword puzzle book and a pencil, my six year old kept laughing.
“…the elf doll is an emissary sent by Santa Claus to observe children and report back on their behavior for judgment. The elf cannot be touched or the magic will be broken; it is a silent observer, a CCTV camera with pointy ears.” 😭
I assume no parrent knows what they are doing and by the time they do the kids are off to college 😂 🫣 🤔 🤗

“Poor?” Nah, that fake-ass commercial “tradition” got what it had coming to it!
