The Hi-Jinks of Tom and Jerry, Part Deux: Ideas for "Elf on the Shelf"

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, Christmas is here. But it's also "Elf on the Shelf" season too. And if you're like us, your elf arrives fairly soon after Thanksgiving, which makes for 20+ days of glorious planning. Here's our 17 best ideas from last year's visits from Tom and Jerry! (Peek HERE for the first edition of Tom and Jerry's adventures)


**Plan ahead for next year note:  At the end of Christmas sales at Target, Michaels, Dollar Stores, etc., I scan for things to buy on the cheap for our elf shenanigans next year. I take the bag of all the goodies and pack it away with the elves so it's ready to go when I pull the elves out again. I can usually find fun things at the Dollar Stop at Target and great crafts at Michaels.**
