I have been looking for a way to rid ourselves of our “Elf on the Shelf” for the last three years.
My Christmas miracle came today!!!
In the guidelines, it is very clear that you can NOT touch your elf, or the magic is gone.
So after telling Pippi this rule many times, she finally took the plunge.

She rag-dolled Krispy.
So I gathered all of the kids around to make the announcement.
I said, “hear ye, hear ye….our elf has lost his magic because Pippi didn’t follow the rules.  Now Krispy is a commoner.  Fell free to touch and play with Krispy as much as you’d like, as he has now become a lonely doll in our home.”
Pippi was embarrassed.
Scout laughed.
Dash was upset.
And Navy was on to me.
