Meeting Bill the elf

Last year I discovered Elf on the Shelf – mostly an American tradition for families that has elves come to stay for the month of December. We bought ours from Barnes and Noble in the US. (way way cheaper than to buy it in Australia (especially with their coupons as well).  The elves have special magic that lets them fly back to Santa each night and report back to him whether or not the kids should be on the Naughty or Nice lists. Our elf arrived a little late (3days before Christmas) last year so this we year when he arrived we gave him a name … Bill. And we are looking forward to seeing what mischief he gets up to at night!
