It’s been a long road. I mean since the first day your Elf arrived, you were already wondering when was going to be the last day you moved your elf – right?

Use this letter at the end of the Elf season, perhaps close to New Year’s Eve when your Elf returns to the North Pole.

Start A New Christmas Tradition
It’s okay to move on from Elf. Even if your child still believes in the magic of the season, there are other ways to create Family Traditions for Christmas in your home.
Family Christmas Traditions
Take a look at these 25+ Christmas Traditions to Start Now (Pin to Pinterest). Some of my favorites are unwrapping a Christmas book to read each day in December. No need to buy new books, just use some of those you have or borrow from the library. I also love the tree skirt handprint craft. You have to see it for yourself!
Advent Calendars
It is absolutely alright to go back to the reason for the season. The Birth of Christ. Take a look at these 25 Homemade Advent Calendars. (Pin to Pinterest) You can have the tradition of making a new Christmas Advent Calendar every year! See our Non-Candy Advent Calendar Filler Ideas.
My goal is to make your Elf life easier whether it’s saying good-bye, hello, or looking for ideas. Enjoy!
