Main Street: Elf Overboard!

Elf on the Shelf is a holiday tradition for many families. The elf magically appears in different places around the house each day of the Christmas season. The cleverness factor of the different poses and places is amusing. But Jamie Green, mother of four young ones, was bemoaning the fact that it’s a lot of work to remember to hide the elf after the kids go to bed so they can find it every morning. Her friend, Monica Fooe, made me laugh out loud with her solution. Said she, take the elf on the Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruise to the North Pole with the family. Then tell the kids the elf is lonely for his people before throwing him overboard!/ Kerri Thoreson , Main Street, Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
