Why is Elf on the Shelf Important in the Christmas Season

The elf on the shelf is a popular Christmas tradition in North America. The elf is a toy that was created by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell in the 1990s. Elf is typically placed on a shelf, and children are told that it moves around the house during the night to make sure that they have behaved.

The elf on the shelf has become popular because it builds excitement for Christmas as children believe that there are elves watching them all year long, not just at Christmastime. It also teaches children about Christmas traditions and what to expect when they visit their grandparents’ homes for Christmas Eve or open presents on Christmas morning.

Now that you learned a bit about the story behind the elf on the shelf, get ready to explore these unique ideas, and feel free to improvise and create the activities in your own style.
