Christmas Elf Dolls Change Christmas!
Who knew a visit from a 12-inch plush elf doll would change Christmas? My friends had been talking about the excitement and magic their elf dolls had brought to their families during the last Christmas season, and insisted that I order my very own plush elf doll for my kids. OK – but I’m starting slowly – just one elf. That one elf doll changed EVERYTHING!
I ordered my Year One Complete Package. I set up the nightly adventures for my elf doll, now lovingly referred to as Glitter, as laid out in the Parent Adventure Guide Book. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Within a couple of nights, my kids were no longer talking about their must have gifts – it was all about our new elf doll friend, Glitter. Glitter became an overnight sensation in our home. She became part of the family. Glitter was always being held by one of my children and talked about to everyone and anyone who would listen!
I must admit that I didn’t quite understand what all the hype was until they begged me to allow Glitter to stay a little longer. I decided that although Glitter was supposed to leave with Santa on Christmas Eve, I would surprise the kids and allow this plush elf doll to stay a few extra days. Honestly, I was enjoying watching the kids wake up every morning with such pure anticipation and wonder. So, on Christmas Eve I set out the gifts (everything on their lists. Yes, I had over bought again!) and Glitter. My kids woke up, tan to the tree and started screaming and crying happy tears. Not because of the gifts that I had spent so much time and energy on, but because our elf doll, Glitter, was still with us! This was the point when I realized this elf truly sprinkled my family with the true meaning of Christmas – none of the material gifts matter, it’s all about being with the ones you love. Thanks Elfing AroundÒ, for bringing Glitter into our lives. I think next year she will be bringing her brother, SlapJack!
