Start This Tradition

Are you wanting to start this tradition? It really is easy and is something that you can modify to make it work for your family.

You buy the elf kit, read the book when it arrives and then name your elf. You can even get some accessories and clothes for your elf! Yes, I am serious. And trust me, it’s addicting!

Each year when the elf arrives at our house, he leaves this super cute letter for my kids. It welcomes back the tradition and gets everyone excited! I address the letter to my children and then sign it from the elf.
