Elf on the Shelf Tradition and its Origins
The Elf on the Shelf tradition, popularized by a picture book written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter, Chanda Bell, has been a holiday staple for almost two decades. The story revolves around an elf placed in homes to serve as Santa’s scout, reporting on children’s behavior and encouraging good deeds during the Christmas season. The tradition has evolved beyond its original concept, with families incorporating humor, creativity, and, in some cases, a touch of adult-themed mischief into the festive tradition.
