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)

My Elf on the Shelf has been with me since the 1960s. For many years, she stayed in a back corner in a bag with the other stuffed folk. Then, last year, I learned about the new popularity of the Elf on the Shelf.
~
Now, she has a place of honour among my Christmas decorations .. or should I say places? Each day, she pops up in a new place, to make her own commentary on the Christmas season!
