In 2012, for example, he rode in on a dinosaur and showed up in the snow on our doorstep. He even had the presence of mind to ring the doorbell — something which absolutely delighted my son. But while we’re pretty good about being creative when it comes to how he makes his entrance, coming up with unique places to put our Elf on the Shelf® day after day does prove to be a little bit challenging....
