Jimmy Kimmel and his wife are hoping that their children have "outgrown" Elf on the Shelf.
The 57-year-old talk show host has Jane, 10, as well as seven-year-old Billy with his wife Molly McNearney and he joked that the pair of them both "resent" the children's book character who, since his first appearance in 2004, has morphed into something of a tradition for parents where a plush version of the elf "watches" their children on the build-up to the big day from various locations in the house.
