Our Elf On The Shelf Is Back! Say Hello To Zerby
We started our family’s Elf on the Shelf tradition last year and the kids really got into it, so we’re welcoming the Elf back to our shelves again this Christmas season! I’d like to introduce you to, Zerby!
Sure, he sounds like something out of a 1970’s science fiction movie, but I can assure you that he is the coolest Elf you will ever meet. Plus, Zerby is easy to remember and is way better than having to repeat Princess Fluffy Muffins or Pinky Sparkles McStrawberry the Third!
Zerb’s and I spent most of last night catching up with each other after a long 11 month break and he had me in stitches all night long. Of course, that could also have been the Rye… Either way, it was good to have him back and I know the kids will be excited to see him in the house.
We started with just the Elf last year and although the kids enjoyed having him change places every night, it didn’t really hit full stride until we saw the Elf on the Shelf movie on TV. Since that day, there has been even more excitement over his arrival, as it gives him a back story that the kids can draw from.
In the interest of getting the full effect of the Elf’s presence, I suggest that you go out and get the DVD. It has been so much fun watching the kids’ excitement over it. For those of you in Ottawa, I picked mine up for $10 at Tag Along Toys in Kanata, or you could try to catch it when it airs on TV, but I find it’s always nicer to have the hard copy.
Well, that’s it for me and Zerby! I hope you’ll keep checking in on our crazy Dad and Elf adventures this year, as we have a lot in store for you!
Cheers!
I think this is such a fun tradition to start! I really want to start one as well…now I just need to get an elf 😉 I know the kids would get a kick out of it, as would hubby and I. Just think of the memories it will create for them to laugh about for years! Thanks for introducing Zerby!
Hahaha. That pic of you two catching up is hilarious. Say hi to Zerby for me:)
I was first introduced to Elf on a Shelf last year when my neighbour did it. She was so excited, and the kids were too. I think it looks like a fun idea. Zerby seems like a pretty cool guy- have a fun December with him 🙂 i hope you post pictures of some of the clever things he does.
Why is everything you people talk about in Kanata. You have any idea how far that is from me.
This is going to be fun. I can tell right now. Looking forward to all the updates! I’ll have to share my own Elf on a shelf pics when I get him out of storage. 🙂
this is our first year with our elf, I’m excited!
They are so much fun to have for the kids!
