For the last couple years I have been entertained during the Christmas holiday with photos that my friends publish of silly elfs hiding in their houses. This year I couldn’t stand it, I had my daughter Hannah write a letter to Santa and ask him to send an Elf to our house too. This is my favorite time of the year so why not add a little fun…
In just a few days after Hannah wrote Santa her request for an elf letter, Erich the elf arrived!
When the kids first found Erich, they didn’t find him in the box. He was actually hiding up on the mantel of our fireplace waiting for them Thankgiving morning.
Here is a little information about Erich the Elf and the Elf Magic Tradition.
Elf Magic is the timeless Christmas-Elf tradition that has created special memories for countless children and families around the world for decades. When considering Christmas traditions that bring the season to life, it’s natural to conjure up stories of Santa… Well, the Elf Magic Elves have something different in mind! Through the years, Elf Magic Elves and families have created lasting memories of the Elfcapade® adventures together. Children young and old look forward to the annual visits from the adventurous Elves, but it is the bond of friendship that is created with the Elves that the family will remember and treasure forever.
Santa allows his Elves to visit so they can encourage an upbeat Christmas, animated through nightly adventures and daily play. Santa wants the Elves to help children create memories, have “good old-fashioned” fun, and reinforce the true meaning of Christmas and family values.
Our little Elf Erich has been having fun hiding each night. In the morning my two youngest have been so excited to find him. Sometimes Erich even has a little surprise for them. Erich came with a little pouch and has given them crayons and some healthy snacks.
Erich right now is hiding in our Christmas tree and the kids have no idea where he is at. Erich is taking a little break. 🙂

We did the elf last Christmas and had a lot of fun with it. I’m not sure why he hasn’t made it out yet this year?
There is still time!
Our elf’s name is Otto and he is pretty sticking fun! My kids LOVE this tradition!
Love the name. My kids are liking the tradition also and asking if he will be coming back next year.
Our elf is Grover. We also have the Ho Ho Husky joining us this year named Rover! They sure are having a lot of fun at night!
The name Grover is cute too! I haven’t heard of the Ho Ho Husky.
We don’t have an elf but the I think the idea is very cute.
he’s adorable I love the little face so much better than the other
I like the faces on the Elf Magic dolls too. There are girl elfs and boy elfs with different hair colors. Next year I hope a girl elf arrives!
I have an Elf on the Shelf and he has been stuck in our Christmas tree for days. I need to get on the ball and move him around. 🙂
Do your kids know the Elf is there? Or is he hiding like ours?
Yes, they found him the first day I stuck him in the tree. I still haven’t moved him. 🙂 Bad mommy!
He’s a mom’s best friend if he’s leaving healthy snacks!
Ooh we have one of these… her name is Randy! She hasn’t visited just yet this year, but will soon 🙂
We have a different elf but I love that yours has a pouch to give them gifts! What a fun touch!
I thought the pouch was a neat extra feature to the doll. It definitely makes it more fun for the kids.
That is a sweet looking elf. We have an elf and he pretty much just sits on a shelf. One of these years, I’ll actually do something with him.
I like this one – so much cuter than that other creepy one!
Your comment just made me laugh. I will have to say the other one has looked a little creepy in some of the pictures I have seen.
We love our elf. She is so loved in our house. My daughters fight over who does the magic.
This elf looks too sweet to do mischief 🙂
Cute!
