I forgot to tell you all about our Magic Elf! He showed up at our house this week and surprised Samuel and Abigail!
THE LEGEND OF THE MAGIC ELF
One Christmas long ago, Santa Claus was reading his mail. He loved getting letters from boys and girls around the world telling him all the wonderful things they had done during the year. But that year, he noticed that the letters had changed. The kids were demanding extravagant gifts with few manners and little mention of goodness. Santa was concerned. As much as Santa loved giving gifts...he didn't want Christmas to lose its real meaning. So Santa created a host of Magic Elves...all with snow white beards, stocking caps and twinkling eyes. He gave the elves wings, sprinkled them with magic dust and sent them on their way to help children learn the meaning of Christmas.
Our elf listens all day long, and at night he reports their behavior to Santa and then returns to a new spot in the house. Each morning he brings a daily message for us to read. Samuel was SO excited when he found the elf the first day, and he can't wait to go to bed at night so that he can find the elf the next day!! What a fun tradition!!
