So, I realized not to long ago (through Facebook) that a lot of our family doesn't know who Mr. Jingles is! That's a shame! Haha No, really it just means we've been out of touch over here for to long! So, I would like to introduce everyone to our adopted elf, Mr. Jingles!
Why did we adopt an elf you say? Well, have you ever wondered how Santa knows who is naughty and who is nice? Well, Mr. Jingles along with other elves, is a very special tool that helps Santa know who to put on the Naughty and Nice list!
You see, Santa sends his scout elves out to Elf Adoption Centers. Waiting for their families to bring them home, these patient elves hibernate until a family adopts them and gives their elf a very special name. Once named, each scout elf will receive its Christmas magic. Only excellent listeners and even better observers can be elf scouts because these scout elves are the eyes and ears of Santa Claus. Although they cannot be touched, or else they may lose their magic, the elf will always listen and relay messages back to Santa. Taking in all the day-to-day activities around the house, no good deed goes unnoticed; these scout elves take their job seriously. Each night, after the family goes to bed, the scout elf uses his magical Christmas powers to fly back to the North Pole. Once there, the elf will make his or her daily report to Santa and visit with elf friends where they will tell stories about their beloved families, play with the reindeer, and of course, sneak some of Mrs. Claus’ cookies! Our suggesting that the kids make their own!
Before the family awakes each morning, their special scout elf will fly back to their home from the North Pole. However, since these elves like to play games, don’t expect to find them in the same spot! While some like to hide in the freezer (probably because it reminds them of the North Pole)
and others prefer to sit on the fireplace mantle or hang from the chandelier,
these elves love to play hide-and-seek with their families. Sometimes he can even be caught red handed doing his naughty deeds, we like to call this "elf mischief" and we must then report it right away to Santa!
On Christmas Eve, the scout elf will listen for Santa’s bell and then fly back to the North Pole. He isn't gone forever! Oh, no! The elf scouts job continues throughout the year! So, Mr. Jingles will be back periodically throughout the year to check in on the kids bringing letters from Santa and reporting back with their behaviors. So this means the kids have to be on their best behaviors ALL year round because you never know when the elf scout will return!
So, now you know how Mr. Jingles came along :) So, when our kiddos tell you about surprise visits from Mr. Jingles... LOL You can go along with it ;)
