The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.

In Santa's Christmas village at the North Pole, the elves celebrate special days all year round. Apart from Christmas, though, nothing is more exciting to a scout elf than a birthday--and elves celebrate birthdays with a tradition that goes back thousands of years. Now, at the request of children from around the world, Santa has given his scout elves special permission to share that birthday tradition with the families they love. An elf cannot come to a celebration, though, unless it is invited.
