Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Elfless
We don't participate in the Elf on the Shelf madness and I am beginning to wonder if we are the only people that don't? It seems like everyone is doing it, which has never been a motivating factor for me, but I hate to make my kids the outcast by association because we don't have an inanimate object dictating behavior around here.....thoughts?
Resist!!! I don't have one either. We do an advent calendar, and I think that focuses her thinking more on Jesus than on getting presents. I think it's cute, I just don't want to add ANOTHER Christmas thing. KWIM?
Thanks girls, I knew I could count on some of my level-headed friends to make me feel better about my lack of hipness. I don't get the attraction at all. Laura, we too do an advent calendar and I wholeheartedly agree, a much better way to explain the significance of this month. No Santa huh Tracy, you are awesome!

You're not alone, it is cute and trendy. But we don't have one either. I really don't think it's a good idea for us.
We don't do it, either. Of course, we don't celebrate CHristmas with Santa, so the elf would sort of be out of place.
