Another cookie lover in the house

Starboy says our Elf is a boy.

What about the skirt? I asked.

Oh, he said. It's a boy wearing a skirt.

There are some hilarious Elf-on-the-Shelf photos online. Check out the Pinterest board I made to collect them. I got the cookie idea from A Little Lair. I'm not sure how many escapades this elf will get into, since I find the idea a bit creepy, with all the marketing. Techman is freaking out that the thing moves around the room.

We just use the elf as a fun decoration, not as a Santa Spy. We generally don't use punishments and rewards in our parenting strategies, with the exception of a dinner here and there for our cheese and bread addict. So this elfie is just for fun.
