I'm easily stressed, my daughters are light sleepers, I'm not that creative and lastly I'm not a supermom.
My friend told me about it and that this will be their second year doing it. She said it made Christmas memorable for her kids. I got convinced and thought I could do it too so I bought one for us. It consists of a book, a certificate and a cheeky elf.
I'm not doing it. I'm not going to stress myself out. I don't want to fail and disappoint myself and the girls. I feel guilty, really.
I will read the book to them tonight. They aren't going to see any elf nor any certificate. I will just do my best as a mum as I have been doing for 7yrs now.
Christmas is not about impressing others. It is about spending time with each other and making each other happy.
@Jenny1234 it's a tradition around the world where you move the elf around the house each night, tell your kids they are being watched by the elf and the elf will report to Santa if the kids have been good or bad. Obvs if they've been good they'll get gifts. If not, no.
@SW-User I don't know if they'll be into it at home because one of them is already doing it at school so maybe I'll just let it go. I also don't want to get stressed.
@SW-User yeah same. I hope the elf in the classroom of one of my girls is enough to creep them all out.

@GunFinger first time I looked up after watching Cinemax and saw the little bastard's judging eyes that was the last time he saw my shelf. Straight to goodwill for him.
@GunFinger you wanna hear some smack though, get this - Remember when we were kids and they told us that good kids get presents while bad kids get nothing or a lump of coal or whatever bad stuff? Okay then...
HOW COME the rotten kid in the neighborhood always got presents than? And sometimes he ended up getting the best stuff!
