As I mentioned yesterday, the elf itself was around when I was a kid, but I don't remember anyone making a tradition for the kids to go and find him each morning or for him to leave little treats. Even the idea of the little elf watching to report back to Santa I don't remember, but is a cute tradition for the kids. There are lots of ideas on how to make it a fun daily tradition, but there are some great tips on this blog: My Mommy Style.
I guess some people have the elf be more mischievous, but I think he is just doing his job and wouldn't get into trouble or hurt anything. And I would probably limit the focus as Christmas approaches because I like the focus to be around the Savior and the true meaning of Christmas. But I also don't mind the idea of Santa either and the Elf on the Shelf is just for fun.
