Why we love the Elf name activity
For over a decade, the Elf on the Shelf has been part of our family’s Christmas tradition, and creating our own elf names is one of the best parts.
When our elf arrives around December 1st, we each pick a new Christmas elf name, it’s something we’ve done for about ten years now, and each year brings new, creative names to enjoy!
My elf name this season? Sparkle Everfrost! I have to admit, it’s a bit more exciting than Clare!
