Does Elf on the Shelf have friends?
The Elf on the Shelf does have friends. Just because your family has one elf, doesn’t mean the Elf lacks friends. Sometimes when the elf works (visits families during the Christmas season), the elf doesn’t travel with friends. However there are times where Elf Mates might come with Elf. Elf friends can take all shapes and sizes. They might look just like Scout Elf and wear a red hat and red body, they might be other colors like purple, green, blue, camo or black.

What is Elf on the Shelf?
Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD
