Dear Kids,
Let’s cut to the chase. Things are getting a little out of hand around here. I’ve only been in your home for four days, and your dad’s already threatening to send me back to the North Pole for good—like, forever! Sure, I enjoy my cozy spot up there with Santa, sipping hot cocoa and grooving to holiday tunes, but I’m here to help you out, so let’s get real.
Where’s the Kindness?
First off, where’s the kindness? You do know I’m keeping an eye on you, right? Alex, I witnessed that prank you pulled on your little sister earlier. Seriously, what were you thinking? This whole Elf on the Shelf idea is about improving your behavior during the holiday season, not maintaining the status quo. Now I have to report back to the Big Guy about that!
Realistic Wishes
And those wish-list items you’ve been whispering to me? Not happening. A flying skateboard for a 7-year-old? Come on! Let’s be realistic. How about asking for some trading cards or a fun video game instead?
Pro Tip for the Holidays
Lastly, here’s a pro tip for you to turn things around and keep the holiday spirit alive. Whatever behavior you show at school, bring it home! I see you sitting up straight, listening to your teacher, and using your manners there. It’s like you’re living in two different worlds. You need to align those worlds quickly—your dad is on a mission to teach you a lesson, and your mom is reaching her limit, once again. Good luck, my friends, you’re going to need it!
Happy Holidays!
Best,
Your Elf on the Shelf
