Do you do "elf on the shelf"? We haven't although, I adore those little vintage elfies. When I first heard about Elf on the Shelf, I thought it sounded like a blast, those elves were faves of mine as a kid and my grand fairies love them too.
But then, I started thinking about how they are watching you.
All the time.
No matter what you do.
And they MOVE.
From one room to another.
And pull pranks during the night.
Not that I think elves are spooky. Elves are related to fairies and my whole family believes in fairies, (except my husband who thinks he has to be the voice of reason around here).
We all love elves. And while I really get a kick out of seeing all the clever poses on Facebook and Pinterest about what those goofy lil guys get up to during the night while kids are sleeping and the sprites can take a break from watching the children's every move, I don't think I want the pressure of eyes watching us around the house and reporting back to the North Pole.
So, all elves are welcome here, but not as spies. Just as friends.
I'll leave you with some Christmassy pictures of the cottage, and I'm going to go wrap last minute gifts now.
Merry Christmas!
