Elf on a Shelf is a Christmas tradition where parents hide an elf doll every night for their children to find in the morning. The elf must not be touched for the entire day which has led to some great elf on the shelf fails. Many parents have confessed they get tired of hiding the elf after about a week and I don’t blame them. My life advice here is to tell your children that your elf had to go to a farm upstate and will not be returning next year.
1. This parent hid their kids’ elf in the oven, forgot about it, and then turned on the oven
2. These marshmallows caught on fire and could have burned the house down
3. Bob sat too close to a light that was turned on and now Bob will never be turned on
4. Toothpaste on the mirror was a great idea. The execution looks like a murder took place.
5. Their cat mistook the “snow” for kitty litter. Good kitty.
6. This elf was hanging from the ceiling and fell into a pot. The children woke up to him drowning.

8. This elf joined Barbie’s pool party and ended up looking like a creep
9. If you’re going to try and draw minions on bananas, let’s use fresh ones.
10. Rip to Elf and a huge thanks to our dog
11. These elves were a little too heavy for the gingerbread house
12. He was supposed to be sitting on the edge of the toilet and fell in. What a nice, luxurious, all day soak.
13.This mom tried to set up a scene where the elf chewed bubble gum and blew a bubble from their butt…but it deflated and looked like diarrhea
14. You can just feel the magic in the air
15. If he burns, he burns.
16. This parent thought the elf drawing on her children’s faces would be better received than this…
17. Good work, boys.
