Elf on a Shelf

My parents bought Maggie an Elf on the Shelf for Christmas. He's a little elf doll that you set out each day to "watch" your child to report back to Santa if they've been bad or good. It comes with a book to read and explain to your child how it works. Maggie even got to name it, so she chose Elfie. He will stay and watch over her until the night before Christmas and then come back again next year. Here are some pictures of her opening it tonight:
