Since I was little I remember the tradition that my Mom had made for us kids. We had little stockings and for every day in December we would get a little item in our stocking.
One day it would be lip gloss or chap stick, another day would be a little treat or gum. It was such a fun tradition and we would run to our stockings to find out what was left for us.
Well I have done this tradition with my own kids. It has been so fun to see them and how excited they get. It really helps since it is a long time to wait till Christmas Day.
Well we have had lots of things in our stocking that we say the "Elf" or "Elfee" has left for us the night before and only if we were good the day before. We have woken only one day to an empty stocking. But this morning to our surprise our Elf decided to stay at our house where we can see him. He usually hides but now he is in plain view and chooses a different spot to hide each day.
For his first debut he was right on top of Cole's stocking. His name is "Elfee" and he will be with us for the whole month!!!
We actually won this at a Christmas party. We had seen it before and thought it would be fun to incorporate it into our tradition of the everyday stockings but I did not want it to take place of my tradition so now we are combining the two. It should be fun.
