We have this elf, Marvin, who disappears each evening and then reappears in the morning.  He goes back to the North Pole to report to Santa if we have been good or bad kids.  Each day, he's in a different location, but today, while searching for him, he was nowhere to be found inside!  I opened the front door and THERE HE WAS hanging on the door handle!!!  He said he was frightened by the geckos running about in the yard.....sigh.
This goes on until Christmas.....can't wait to see where he is tomorrow!!!
