Note to all:  This is a continuing series on Holiday themed threads brought to you by the good people at Car Talk and their friends at Kentucky Jelly - the home of synthetic lubrication (completely water soluble, and hygienic, human lubrication technology for the 21st century).

Not to beleaguer the point, but this series will continue throughout the holiday season to increase forum moral, which seems to be lackluster at the moment.  Or not.  I'm not very good at this.

Remembering to move the damn things (yeah, we have 2, a boy and a girl) every night is a pain.  A six year old panics if they are in the same place as yesterday.

I'm glad my daughter has never gotten into it.  But I did see this somewhere on social media, the idea is he has to be stationary for a while:

Don't forget his buddy:

We had one.  Not so much for our youngest, but as a joke on our elder daughter.  She works at Barnes & Noble and complained that the Elf on a Shelf display was creepy.  Naturally we bought one.  We set him out on his first night here and then he disappeared.  We figure he's in a landfill by now.

There is an even better one where glory boy elf is wearing a shirt that says "20 bucks is is 20 bucks" or something. The requisite Jackson is dangling above the candy cane.

I've actually never seen this, but it's very interesting and coincidentally apropos.
