Every elf owner knows there are two things that really stink about owning elf on the shelf: 1) forgetting to move that little bugger. That’s probably the worst part of elf-ownership, because the reminder usually pops into your head just as you’ve crawled into bed, in the middle of the night, or first thing in the morning when you scramble to move that little guy or gal before the kids wake up.

The 2nd horrible thing about owning an elf on the shelf is the inability to pose him so he can do amazing things! I’m actually not sure why Elf 2.0 hasn’t surfaced on store shelves with a posable body!?
