Just yesterday, I was reading a blog that someone had written and a few friends shared on Facebook. It had to do with when is "enough enough" when it comes to the Elf on a Shelf, Leprechaun, etc... Those friends agreed that, yes, they had enough. I was kind of perplexed as to the attitudes when it came to this subject.
In our house, yes, we have an elf, although ours was sent from the North Pole and has a different look than the ones you see in stores...Pixy is an "original."
Mommy, Daddy or the kids are able to slip something into the other's stocking just to let them know they are thinking about them....a note, piece of candy, etc...
In February, we did a "Countdown to Valentine's Day" by baking a different dessert everyday up until hearts day! Check out our Valentine Skewers! Just use 2 different kinds of jelly candies in a heart shape (one sugared, one not), some mini marshmallows and wooden skewers...voila!
We have a leprechaun who visits 1 week before St. Patrick's Day and causes all kinds of mischief!
We try, but have yet to catch him before he leaves our house for the year. Mommy is also a baking creator this same week. Leprechaun food anyone? Simply green grapes tossed with lime gelatin powder and frozen!
Don't get me started on the fact that I do still make homemade Halloween costumes (give me a box and some spray paint and I can make just about anything) and Valentine Boxes.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions...that is what freedom of speech is all about :)
In the meantime, we will continue our world of fun in the King House. Do our kids expect it? No. Is it something we have continued to do because it adds that extra little smile to their already smiling faces? Absolutely!!
Hmm....which holiday is next?!! ;)
