We never participated an Elf on a Shelf in our house and judging by the memes with sentiments such as "when you get all cozy in bed and realize you forgot to move the elf," I'm glad we didn't. I will tell you that if I had a dollar for every time someone sent me the "forget Elf on a Shelf" and it's the 'Grohl on a pole' meme I could retire early and buy Christmas gifts for every child in Montana.
