I will never forget the day my mom called me and said I packed the cutest thing at work today. Have you ever heard of Elf on the Shelf? Had I known what that question was going to lead to I would have hung up on her. For those who have an elf you know and understand. For those of you considering an elf, all I can say is RUN!
