This is our third year of our Elf On The Shelf and he is a much loved and treasured Christmas tradition in the Sparkles household. Tommy is not a mischievous elf but is much in the spirit of the accompanying storybook celebrating the children being kind and helpful. I hide him each night and also leave a letter writing about the positive things the children have done and little memories of the day. I enjoy the creative challenge and the magic he brings to our house. This year I thought I would publish our photos from each day, the letters are so personal that they can’t be published but they remain wrapped and saved in our house.
