Elf on the Shelf is a tradition that parents either love or hate. It can be an incredibly magical time for children, who love to wake up every morning to see what they have been up to.
For parents, it means trying to think of a new position to move the elf every day – or even just remembering to do it in the first place.
It can take over your life throughout the busy period of December, but one couple got more than they bargained for with their annual elf tradition.
