No matter how you feel personally about the Elf on the Shelf, that little dude has proved over the past few years that he is here to STAY, ‘Merica! I mean, my family does not personally have one, but I am definitely in the minority according to my Facebook feed from the last several years. And I do enjoy seeing photos of OTHER people’s elves—as long as I never, ever, ever have to do that crap myself.
As usual, the parents of Twitter are hilariously expressing life with an Elf on the Shelf – the GOOD, the BAD, and the HYSTERICAL! And because I love you all, I’ve rounded up some of the funniest Elf on the Shelf tweets JUST for you. Enjoy!
