~Elf making nibbles~

Elf on the shelf..
The story about the Elf on the shelf describes how Santa's "scout elves" hide in people's homes to watch over events. Once everyone goes to bed, the scout elf flies back to the North Pole to report to Santa the activities, good and bad, that have taken place throughout the day. Before the family wakes up each morning, the scout elf flies back from the North Pole and hides.
The Elf on the Shelf story explains that scout elves get their magic by being named. . Once the elf is named, the scout elf receives its special Christmas magic which allows it to fly to and from the North Pole.

The book tells how the magic might disappear if the scout elf is touched, so the rule for The Elf on the Shelf states: "There's only one rule that you have to follow so I will come back and be here tomorrow: Please do not touch me. My magic might go, and Santa won't hear all I've seen or I know." Although families are told not to touch their scout elf, they can talk to it and tell it all their Christmas wishes so it can report back to Santa accurately.

The story ends on Christmas Day with the elf leaving for the rest of the year until the following Thanksgiving

The girls will be here tomorrow and see elf (Smike) has been busy making our traditional nibbles. Something my Grandma made every Christmas.

I will probably post other pictures in the next few weeks showing what Smike has been up to.
Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow :-)
