Elf on the Shelf Christmas Giveaway
Elf on the Shelf – A Christmas Tradition Giveaway!
Have you ever wondered how Santa knows who is naughty and who is nice? The Elf on the Shelf – A Christmas Tradition is the very special tool that helps Santa know who to put on the Naughty and Nice list. This interactive holiday hide-and-seek tradition is perfect for children and families of all ages!
At the start of each Christmas season, the elf appears to serve as Santa’s eyes and ears, traveling back to the North Pole each and every night to make a detailed report of the day’s activities.
This keepsake gift set includes a North Pole pixie scout elf and a hardbound picture book.
HOW IT WORKS:
The book explains that Santa has sent an elf to watch over the children and the elf reports back to Santa each night. The kids get to decide the name for the elf together. Children can register their elf online to receive an official adoption certificate and a special letter from Santa. You read through the book with your child, it explains all the rules, then each night you move the elf to a new spot. One of the rules is that the children cannot touch him .
Rules:
* The children cannot touch the elf or he will lose his magic
* The elf can listen to what the children tell him, but cannot talk back, that’s Santa’s law.
* The elf flies back to the North Pole each night and tells Santa what he has seen – when he comes back he goes to a new spot in the house.
My kids start searching for the elf immediately when they wake up! It’s a very special tradition in our house. Here are just a few spots “Elfie” has been found!
Simply, Follow the instruction below on the rafflecopter for your chance to win! Good Luck!

Looking at christmas lights
Christmas eve with my moms side of the family
I never really had any Christmas traditions til I joined my fiance’s family. Christmas presents have to be the best when his whole family is gathered. All the gifts are passed out before we are ready to open even one. Listening to all the oohs and aahs, thank you’s and just what I wanted is so much fun. His parents wait to open their gifts til the children, grandchildren and now great-grands open theirs, that way they can take the time to thank each person for the gifts that they receive. After an early Christmas supper, we are all locked into the family room and Santa makes his visit and fills all of our stockings. Makes for a long but wonderful day full of togetherness, happiness and family fun.
Every Christmas Eve we give the kids one present which consists of new pajamas and slippers to wear.

We use manure from my mom’s horses and leave it in the front yard! Our boys wakeup to raindeer poop in their own yard!!! So cool and funny!
My favorite tradition is cookie baking! We have always (since I was a small child) made what seems like tons of cookies to give to family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, postal carriers, etc.
On Christmas Eve night we make hot chocolate and fudge and get in the car to go look at Christmas lights while listening to Christmas music. My children love to do this and it relaxes them so they can go to bed for Santa to come.
It starts on Christmas Eve. Our family goes to my Aunts to eat the best italian dinner ever and open gifts. We then go to Midnight service. On Christmas morning the kids open presents from Santa. Then my Mom makes a breakfast fit for a King!!! We then get the kids ready and attend Christmas service. By the time all of that is over the kids are ready for a nap. My parents, my husband and I make a dinner that is usually unreal. That evening the whole family comes to my parents home to eat. Since my husband and kids live out of state from my parents and family, meeting with the whole family twice in 2 days is so great. The best thing about the Hollidays is family. I love that time with everyone and wouldn’t replace it for the world.
When I was little my grandma would come down and open presents with my sister and I and she would always bring a piece of fruit for us. I would get a grapefruit and my sister a banana. We would have to eat our fruit before we could open presents because kids are to busy for breakfast after Santa comes. My grandma passed away when I was 9 but my mom continued the tradition. We got our fruit in our stockings. And I do the same with my boys. They each get their favorite fruit in their stocking and we have our fruit before we open presents. That is my favorite tradition, and I hope that my boys will continue it with their families.
Spending Christmas Eve with all my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. It’s never a dull moment.

My kids are grown up now, some of my grandkids are grown too. Since I’m one of eight, when all our kids were small & didn’t want to go house to house on Christmas, we decided to have a family Christmas the Saturday before the holiday. It’s a potluck, gift exchange & a wonderful party with my Mom (Dad is gone now), my sisters & brothers, their spouses, kids & grandkids. It’s an afternoon to slow down, have fun, eat & enjoy the family.

Our favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the tree and staying up until the wee hours of the mornign getting santa gifts ready.
My favorite Christmas tradition is celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve with family. No one sees the Christmas tree until it is time to open gifts. We have the tree in the middle of the room so we can sing Christmas carols as we go around the tree. After we sing several Christmas carols, we sing a Danish Christmas song and then pick someone to be Santa to had out gifts. Then everyone opens gifts. 🙂
