"Fuck sake, I'm not on Facebook because of this sort of shite. Bah humbug!
Let Christmas into your heart
Don't be a grump in a slump.."
It's nothing to do with Christmas. It's just people trying to outdo each other with how hilarious they can be. It's not for the kids.... |

"I have no idea what this even is??
Clearly not on Facebook with friends that have kids then! Lucky you@"
My Facebook includes friends who have kids. I've not been on there for a few weeks though. It seems like that may be a good thing  |

Elf on a shelf.. A summary:
Parents that want to outdo their friends on facebook buy an elf.
They "invite" the elf to stay and the elf is a tout who reports on your kids to Santa.
The elf gets up to some " crazy" shenanigans, making other parents feel shit for not having an elf tbat christmas wrapped the sofa.
The kids, having been told that not only God, Jesus and Santa is always watching them, there is an elf who is reporting back to Santa.
It isn't "magical". It is commercialism. The owner of elf on a shelf is rolling in it. |

I'm with you OP. Nothing wrong with trying to bring a little festive fun to the forums.
I actually do 'Elf on the shelf' in my house, not to compete with other parents, but to bring happiness to my children. Waking up to the sound of children's laughter and seeing their little faces smile first thing in a morning is why I do it.
I don't post it on Facebook either.
Shame people have to be negative about your thread OP, maybe they prefer the BBW499 threads or whatever repetitive threads have been around all year. |

the bbw threads aren't very inclusive to us non bbws. I just don't see why people can't do these things without broadcasting to the world. Smacks of ulterior motives when they do. That's all. |

Thank you angel looks like I've got a nerve never expeceted this reaction in here thought fab was about having fun and making people happy (even is pervs) and the banter just thought as you said something different.
My elf my son happy and excited kids can also report to santa if elf is naughty teaches kids to report when anything is wrong (not grassing) good practice..
So merry Christmas angel and tti all who wish to recieve a big hug and a merry Christmas. ..
Love you all. .xxx |

Me neither. I've seen the photos on social media but don't really understand what's going on and don't pay them any attention, I just scroll past.
Even the useful description on this thread doesn't explain how parents are out doing each other or why there are pictures on Facebook.

Luckily, the children don’t see it this way, they aren’t aware of what happens on social media and all they see is the magic in it.
There’s nothing sinister in it at all. It’s a sign of the times we live in, people can’t so much as sneeze without making sure that friends, family, neighbours and complete strangers know about it by posting it somewhere on social media. The adults are the numpties not the concept.
The young children are loving it and if mine were young I would definitely be taking part.
If you don’t believe in the magic, the magic won’t happen! Let the kids be kids and have some fun with Christmas..... condemn the adults and spare the Elf I say   |

I'd rather say santa died hundreds of years ago and he did not deliver to the entire world before taking part in elf on the shelf.
Each to their own but I feel the magic of a stranger breaking and entering for one night a year, and leaving nice things is enough magic for any child.
Most things I remember about my childhood Christmas is meeting extended family and having a great few days together. Only about 3 presents stand out in the memory |

I don't need an elf to create havoc every morning in my house, 3 dogs do a good enough job.
I'm just getting to grips with Christmas eve boxes, naughty elves can bog off |

Wow?"
Damn.. I'm glad the post is put up about elf on a shelf got totally ignored...
There seems to be a lot of bad feelings towards those mischievous little fuckers out in fab land..
Seems the Grinch has been out there spreading his Christmas cheer... |

Changed my name as I love a lot of what Christmas is about, love some of the traditions and love spending time with loved ones.
I don't love elf on a shelf, a million pictures of kids dressed as reindeers or most of the other self absorbed bollocks that gets posted on social media this time of year, it's boring and makes me want to barf.
For the record I am not elfist, I have some very good friends who are elves. |

Good work!
Mines head first in a Yanky Candle at the minute, that'll teach the little fucker. |

Elf on the Shelf a reason to bribe children into being good.
I was told I had to partake in the one at work as it’s all part of being “festive”
So I put him leg first into the shredder. With just his torso hanging out. They crossed me off the Elf Rota after that.
Ho Ho Ho |
