Edward The Elf Part 2

Ah, December shot past so quickly!  Far too quickly.  I’m missing my nightly giggle of plotting what to do with Edward the Elf, the sort-of elf on the shelf idea I tweaked to suit my family, inspired by a lovely, funny lady called Naomi.  The minxes really miss him too and now want to post little gifts to him c/o Santa so that he never forgets them.

I showed you some of the (mostly) innocent fun he had in the first half of December in an earlier post.  To complete the story, here are the final 12 days of his stay.  On Christmas Eve, Santa took him home again to the North Pole – well, I’m not having 3 little girls excitedly racing down stairs every morning, wishing and hoping that he’d gotten up to more mischief!  Santa left them a note thanking them for teaching him so well, and Edward left us all a chocolate orange each, and a few words at the bottom of the note.  It looked suspiciously like my left-handed writing.  Allegedly…

Actually, I miss the wee man myself.  Even though he’s now sleeping the whole experience off at the bottom of my underwear drawer until next year.  Or maybe the year after…

Dec 14 – How else is a little elf going to get into the cereal to solve post-shenanigan munchies?

Dec 15 – Barbie’s snowballs are pink, Edward’s are white. Obviously (!)

Dec 16 – perhaps Barbie’s payback for losing the snowball fight?

Dec 17 – too much whisky. I promise I removed Ed’s hand from Barbie’s bosom before the minxes saw them. PS yes, those are carrot chunks you can see

Dec 18 – sleeping off his hangover (or is it man-elf-flu?)

Dec 19 – plying Barbie with chocolate orange segments and a rose. The smooth ol’ devil!

Dec 20 – the couple who do weights together are… downright weird

Dec 21 – I’m hearing the theme tune to Hawaii-5-0. Dunno why

Dec 22 – Karaoke night

Dec 23 – had to explain to mystified minxes what the Spin The Bottle game was all about. Oops

Dec 24 – wearing Barbie’s tiara in a bubble bath (the durrrty gurrrrl has stuffed her dress behind the taps!)
