Oh my that sweet little elf on the shelf.We've had the tradition since I can remember.Ours was always in red and still today that's the one that touches my heart.As soon as I set him on the shelf my smile appeared and still when I walk by and see him the smile comes back.Growing up he would usually appear on the corner of the living room door to watch us and report each eve back to Santa.You were warned you better behave or he was gonna tell santa and no presents for you.My baby brother would always cry as soon as he saw him appear.(usually everyday when he remembered or saw him) I guess he figured he was definately gonna be on the naughty list..smile...I'm joining in the fun of the merriment chain hosted by Misi and Robyn.Click on the links on my sidebar if you want to join in the fun.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Evening Amy, sweet vintage little Elf.......love hearing the childhood memories.....Blessings Francine.
I had no idea the elf was spying for Santa. He makes you smile so he must have always told Santa how good a little girl you were.
Amy,
I al loving reading everyone's wonderful memories! As you can see I have a addiction to the elf's... hehe... even if he wasn't used to spy on us when we were little... Love them! OLM

Sweet memories from Christmas past . . .

We just started this tradition for Silas....he doesn't seem to care one way or another about his elf but give it a few years. ;0)
That is so cute! We too did the "spirit of Christmas" with a Russell Stover candy box elf. Our kids loved it. Your display is so cute
We play the elf game with the grands. I hide it every morning and they look for them at night. They make me smile too! Janice
Wonderful Christmas Elf story.
My granny's hid ours saturday.
Woolie Hugs

My Mom has a elf at her house too for when my son goes over there, it's like he is following him. Kinda creepy, huh? Anyway, my mom forgot to put him away after Christmas and my son was over there and when he saw the elf he was like "what's he doing here?" He was kinda upset too. ;)
Fun memories!
Love it! We have an elf on the shelf named Elmer. Darbee LOVES for him to come! What a sweet post.
I had no idea that Elf on the Shelf was created that long ago. I figured it was something new just the past 5 years or so. That's how much I know. Boy, we missed the boat on this one. My girls don't even know what it is. That's ok.....I just tell him that Santa comes around and checks every night. They still beleive that one:) Have a great night. -Steph-
Enjoyed reading your Christmas memories. I love your header.
Blessings,

Oh...Ok...I give...You, OLM, and Tammy are just creeping me out with these vintage Santas and elves....They have always spooked me...and we never had ANY in our house.....(mice, yes, creepy elves and such, no...) ;o) OLM is threatening to send me one...perhaps I'll learn to get used to them??? (Sweet memories though...) Smiles & Elfish Hugs ~ Robin
I never ever heard of elf on the shelf until last year when reading blogs. I think I have to get the book and learn more. Sure is a cute little guy!
Be blessed Amy!

Sweet header..
Enjoy reading your sweet post
Love cucki x
I love the elf on the shelf thing. There are some cute pictures floating around this year of the elf getting into mischief. I used to do something similar with my niece and daughter with a tiny fairy...that way it could be all year long lol! It's all in good fun to mess with them a little :)
Have a lovely week!
Warm hugs ~ Jenn

A heads up please, if you are ever to offer such a cutie at market ..smiles
We had a elf like that growing up too. Love the story about your brother, that's funny!
I have two little elfs from when I was a little girl. For years, I have out them out on the Christmas tree in our dining room. Just not sure that tree is going up this year...my back is acting up again.
