The Elf on the Shelf, now an internationally renowned children's Christmas phenomenon, was invented to keep kids on their best behavior around Christmas time. As the legend tells, the elves sit in their same spot all day and monitor your child. When it is time to go to bed, the elves fly back to Santa and relay to him if your kids have been naughty or nice. This can ultimately effect what presents your kids will receive from Santa on Christmas. However, there have been many times when the kids get out of bed and come downstairs in the morning, that the elves have been caught participating in things that should earn them their own spot on Santa's naughty list.
Like graffiti-ing on the back of babies' heads while they sleep.
Or holding Princesses for ransom.
Or wreaking havoc on the copy machine.
Or making sure their human wont have a problem going to the bathroom.
Or making a mess in the kitchen to make flour-angels with the gingerbread cookies that Mom just baked the night before.
Or redecorating the bathroom
Or teepeeing the house
Or slipping Tabasco sauce in your Visine just for shits and giggles.
Or breaking into Mom's jewelry box and making away with her diamonds.
Or hanging out in the liquor cabinet to make for a rough morning.
It seems that Santa has a corrupt law enforcement, and it won't be long until our elves need their own elves to keep them in line.
