From Santa's Workshop...

Last week, Megan got her first official package from Santa's workshop, "The Elf on a Shelf"
Santa sends out lots of elves each year to different houses to help him keep on eye on who is naughty and who is nice. Santa sends along a book with each elf to explain all of the rules the elf has to follow. We need to give him a name but haven't settled on one yet.
Megan was excited to open the package from Santa.

Here she is meeting Santa's personal helper for the first time. She doesn't know it yet, but he will be with the Schutte family for a long time. He is sitting on a shelf right now and she says good night to him every night before she goes to bed and he leaves to report back to Santa.
Now that she is used to seeing him sitting on the fireplace he can move around. I heard that he likes to be in a different spot each day, so she will have to look for him in his hiding/spying spot. I'm so happy that Santa sent one of his elves so we can start a Schutte Family Christmas tradition.
Any suggestions for elf names would be appreciated...

Love the Elf on a Shelf. It's going to be fun to watch Megan find him/her each morning/day. I have a road block on a name for the elf so I will get back when something comes through.

I have a strong feeling that the elf is named 'Nisse'.
In Sweden that is the name for Santa's helpers.
