The Elf is Back.............

For those of that were petitioning for Jonathon the Elf to return, he did. However, he and Santa set up some clear rules and consequences. Here are the rules:
- Listen to your parents
- Take care of your stuff
- Keep your room straightened up
- Stop fighting with each other and your friends so much

Santa and Jonathon will keep a close eye and if they do not follow the rules Jonathon will not be allowed to come back and they will be placed on the naughty list for next Christmas.

The Elf is back.........................

Well, Jonathon the elf is back.
For those who do not know the history- Allysa's best bud Julia has an elf named Christopher who would visit around Thanksgiving and leaves Christmas Eve and his sole purpose is to report back to Santa if the children are behaving.
Of course, there is more.. Jonathon moves around at night( he is magical) so every morning they come looking to see where he is and hoping it is not in their stocking( that is not good)... So, Allysa fell in love with this and last year she and Julia started writing Santa that Allysa needed an elf too... Obviously, Santa sent an elf.
The girls wrote their note to Santa when we got back from Thanksgiving this year for Jonathon to return. As you can see he is here. There are rules, they cannot touch him , he only flies at night and they can only talk to him but of course they have now taken to writing notes to see if he will answer.
Just a warning for anyone who may choose to do this- have a good story when the elf does not answer a note or move :).
