something else I do for my kids with the elf.. I created a fake gmail account with the elf's name on it. Our's is named "Jolly the elf" so I created jollytheelf at gmail.com and they will leave notes out for the elf some nights, and the elf will respond back to them with an email the next night.
the kids love it and freak out every time they see a new message in their inbox
I have a feeling "Ole Jolly" will be getting a lot of mail this season.....:SIB

New to it too. The grandkids really look forward to finding him every morning. And when they misbehave we remind them that the Elf is taking notes!!
