What is the "Elf On A Shelf" Christmas tradition?
user
The "Elf on the Shelf" is a tradition first described in 2005 by author Carol Aebersold. The premise is that there's an "elf" that comes into a house one night every December to report on the occupants’ behavior. The elf can be seen on one of the "shelves" that might be found in a Christmas tree, family room, or another area. The elf then goes back to "the North Pole" to report to Santa Claus, so that Santa can "know how everyone is doing, and whether or not they've been naughty or nice."
