Elf on a Shelf: Coming Soon to the Golz Family!

Tonight we have a special visitor at the house.  Cricket went outside for a while and came back with an Elf riding on her head.  He said his name is Hermann (Hermie for short) and he is here to bring holiday cheer every year.  We have quickly realized that he is also mischievous.  He's driving Cricket insane!

  

"Elf on a Shelf" is a relatively new Christmas tradition in the United States.  Once the elf visits you, you must give him a name and then just sit back and watch what happens.  He tends to get into trouble a lot, but he also brings lots of laughs.

This little guy has a twin brother at Laura's house.  After a long discussion, he has decided that he will return to Germany with Jule in two weeks to bring Christmas cheer abroad.  She needs to begin German language lessons with him ASAP!
