Elf on the Shelf Names

We elf. Our family loves it. It is something the kids really get into. My oldest has graduated to elf sitter & he helps me with the elf activities. He brings a sense of fun in coming up with elf antics for his brother & sisters.
A few weeks ago my oldest daughter explained to me that our elf, Jingles, had to leave his wife at the N.Pole. Santa sent him to our house to work & she had to stay behind. Oh how she wished Jingles wife could come to our house. 
Well we went to Macy's & found Elf on the Shelf half off plus an additional 25% off. {With that deal I should have purchased all they had & made some extra Christmas cash.} So Jingles wife came to visit. 
The girl elf is almost identical to the boy elf. She did have white dot earrings. That just wouldn't do for me, she needed a little bling.
Jingles put a ring on it.

The kids were so excited to see her! Jingles wrote a note explaining that she brought reindeer antlers for everyone. Something got lost in translation & they started calling Jingles wife, "Antlers". Antlers?! That is not a name for a cute, blingy, newly married elf. This led to many discussions about her name. She has morphed into, Polkadot Snowflake, or Antlers for short.

Last year I found a vintage elf. He came to help Jingles last year & showed up again this year. His name is cousin Ralph. My husband calls him Uncle Si because he is old & looks a little crazy. Cousin Ralph can't spell. Jingles is always having to help him.


I love seeing all the elf activity on Facebook & Instagram. The names crack me up!
Here are the RHOK elf names:

Mrs. Albright's elves are Fred Jack Tubbington & Tinsel Belle.

Mrs. Southern's elves are Chuck & Glenda.

Mrs. Hart elf is Malia.

My favorite elf name of all time is Enrique. My friend Susan just cracks me up. Here is a crayola portrait of  Enrique drawn by one of her daughters. I was impressed.


Do you elf? If so share your elf names with us. Post a pic on our Facebook page. We love to see your elfing around the house!

You've Been Elfed!

We have a fun, Christmas tradition we started a couple of years ago.
We are Elfing!
No, it's not the cute lil video you can make called Elf Yourself.
No, it's not the cute lil Elf on the Shelf either. 
Elfing is where we go and drop off treats at our the homes of our neighbors & friends.
Here is the cute card we use.

Everyone joins in the fun.
Brother and Sister help bake.






We place our treats in plastic containers.
Attach the poem with cute, grosgrain ribbon.
Easy, peasy.
Then my kids favorite part...sneaking up to the front door, ringing the door bell and running!
My oldest loves this activity and wants to "Elf" everyone we know.

We have so much fun!
When we Elf one friend we always get caught?! Jboy thinks this is hilarious.
We are looking forward to Elfing YOU this year.
