If you have young kids, and are not familiar with The Elf on the Shelf Christmas book... stop what you are doing right now, go buy the book, and begin planning your strategy for the next holiday season! This book + tiny (and might I mention creepishly ugly) elf doll was our ticket to getting our daughter to do anything to be on the "Nice List" in the last days leading up to Santa's big arrival. All you have to do is read the book, name the doll, and then move him all over the house so he can report good and bad behavior to the Man in Red. We named our elf, Willy, after both of my grandfathers who loved celebrating Christmas with their families, especially with their grand kids. They both would have gotten a kick out of this little holiday prank!
Addie was on the good list! Her big surprise Christmas morning was a complete set of Disney Barbie Dolls. Our living room has officially become a Barbie Doll colony! 
Looky, looky at what I got guys!
Oh my goodness what is all of this good stuff in here!
This here stocking is chalk full of candy... and it's all mine mom! Stay away!
