How doing Christmas elf.

We have an elf coming I've got a few bit and more on the way but my heads all over the place as had a bad dip in my mental health
So what sort of things do I need to get sorted.

Hi Lacey - sorry to hear your not in a good place, you were sounding really well last week

I'm not sure as I only did a couple of evenings of elf last year - he decorated the christmas tree with toilet paper, hmmm can't remember the 2nd night then he bought them a Christmas eve box with cups, hot chocolate, Christmas PJs (for us all ).

Have a look at some of these to get some ideas:

@Louise @sim @Bugglyboo @Allie @girlinleeds will hopefully be able to give you some more hints @laceybat

Just of to supermarket, but will come back with some ideas later xxx

Last year we did

Elves go dinosaur hunting, we used plush dinosaurs, barbie Jeep and a bow and arrow.

Strictly come dancing, the elves were judging the toys

Zip wire across the living room

Breaking into the chicken house

Marshmallow snowball fight

Snow angels using icing sugar

Magic tree with jelly beans for the kids to plant in a small pot then they "grew" into a chocolate lollipop.

Party night, empty wine bottle and a bag of crisps

House swap with friends elves.

Train ride on the toy train.

Gingerbread house making.

Can't remember anything else for now. Hope that helps.

We do things like

Elves build a fort and have a snowball fight

Elf school for other soft toys

Elves watching a movie with a bowl of pop corn

Elves leaving gingerbread men to be decorated

Making snow angels in rice or flour

Elves playing dress up

Elves leaving crafty bits with instructions

Elves eating all the chocolates in a box

Our elf is called Ernie, tonight he's popping by with all the Christmas decorations (normally he drops them of on the 30th but I'm working)

He always brings advent calendars on the 1st

Swaps stockings on the fireplace for knickers

Changes the milk colour by putting food dye in it

Sits on the Christmas tree

Leaves tickets to go see Santa

Makes the house more christmasy by swapping cushions/throws for Christmas ones

Has a cotton wool ball snowball fight

Dresses up pips teddies (this year there all going to have batman masks on I think)

Builds a (pretend) campfire and toasts marshmallows

Delivers Christmas dvds and books

When he goes back on the 24th he leaves a Christmas Eve box (new pjs,night before Christmas book, chocolate and hot chocolate)

Can't remember what else is on this year's list and can't get it out as pips has eyes everywhere

Shaving foam mess, then kids join in
Toilet roll wrapped around everything
Brings the advent calender, craft activities set up, baking set up, Christmas tree to decorate. Brings food or treats.

I need to do my elf schedule in case I go into labour so I'll post it later.
