Hilarious Elf on the Shelf ideas to try this year
The naughty elf is back for another year!
Elf on the Shelf has been taking the world by storm for a good few years now and it seems there are some very inventive parents out there.
The fun stems from a book by the same name, released in 2005. The children's picture book describes how elves visit children at home in the lead up to Christmas to find out if they've been good enough to receive presents from Santa this year.
In recent years this Christmas tradition has seen parents all over the world setting up some very funny scenarios for the elves, who are often very naughty themselves.
