Elf on the Shelf is a widely popular Christmas tradition these days. It involves hiding an elf around your house starting the day after Thanksgiving. Every night while the children sleep, the elf moves.
The children will find the elf in a new place around the house each morning. The elf is supposed to watch over your children until Christmas Eve.
Thatโs when he goes back to the North Pole to tell Santa whether the children have been naughty or nice. Lots of people name their elf or elves. They even come up with fun ways to display their elves for their children, partner, or roommates to find the next day. People come up with the most adorable scenes for their elves. And some people come up with scenes that are pretty twisted.
Here are 65 hilariously creative Elf on the Shelf ideas that are both naughty and nice:
