Elf on the Shelf: where is she now?
A few years ago, I had a lot of fun, exchanging ideas about Vintage Elf on the Shelf with my husband’s aunt. She is gone now, but every time I see Vintage Elf, it reminds me of Millie.
~
That year, I brought Vintage Elf out of storage. I have had her since I was a child. She is a little bigger than the modern elves. She has a felt body, braided yellow hair and a sweet smile. Here is Vintage Elf with another Christmas standard, Scrooge.

Vintage Elf can also tell the story of Jesus’ birth …
First, the empty manger …
~
~
Then, Mary and Joseph arrive because there is no room at the inn …
~
~
Then, the angels announce the baby’s birth to the shepherds …
~
~
And the shepherds visit the newborn baby …
~
~
Then, Elf visits the wise men, as they follow the star to find a king …
~
~
And, at last, they visit the baby in the manger …
~
~
I love the story of the first Christmas and the hope it brings to all the world …
~
Hope you have a Merry Christmas season.
All my best,
Jane (a.k.a. Alexandra)

Hi Jane,
I love your Elf! I had no idea the Elf existed previous to our modern version. Thanks for sharing your Elf’s Christmas Story. Wishing you all the best in the new year!

Hi Maureen. Yes, I have known Elf on the Shelf all my life. I like the older, more doll-like, version best. Thanks for commenting!! Jane
