Happy Holidays... and Beware!

We have had a lot of fun so far in the holiday season, but it has not been without some controversy. Some mysterious elves have taken up residence in our house and they have turned out to be quite troublesome! It all started when two small elves from my childhood Christmas tree, given to our children by their Grandmother, apparently took Alison's car in the middle of the night and brought home three larger elves, who were found strapped in the car seats of Alina, Mac and Cal. Since their arrival, each morning we find the results of some other mischief that they have caused. So far it has been limited to minor pranks, such as rolling the tree with toilet paper and sewing a Santa hat on a small defenseless sock monkey, but recently in the night they seem to be getting into the food and drink! Each morning the children run up to find the results of the latest trick or disaster. We don't exactly know what will be next, but I had to assure Mac that they are not capable of doing bodily harm to us in the night - unless they try to sew Santa hats on our heads! - McP
