Kali, do you know that this is the day the Elf on the Shelf appears. Oh no, he’s a little psycho….I never know how to take him. What’s his name again? Elfin John! I heard rattling in mom’s nightie drawer, shall we take a peek? OK…let’s see if the strange little guy is awake. 
He’s waking up Shoko. Shall we close the drawer? No, he’d probably just kick until mom opened the drawer and then he’d leap out at her…scare the friggin’ stuffing out of her. 
Geez, how did he get on the bed so fast! Quick little weirdo aren’t you? 
What did you call me you, you…..beady eyed, candy cane legged freak! 
And so it begins…..Elfin John is loose in the house until Christmas.
This is also Selfie Sunday with The Cat on My Head so we are joining the line to get on her site. So come visit us and our anipals there with one click on the hosting blog. 
A joke for you my friends. What kind of bread do elves make sandwiches with?
Why, shortbread of course.

Did you give him a sleeping pill, Sammy? It must be a long lasting one. The inventions of modern medicine. Elfin is so full of energy at any time of the day or night. Mom has to shut him outta the bedroom at night or none of us would sleep.

He loved to chew anything with fabric. I used to have to pull half eaten socks the rest of the way out of his rear end! I am sure the elf passed through without me seeing it, lol. And yes, Riley has big, strong teeth.

It was spooky to see Elfin J in mom’s underwear drawer but more disturbing is the fact that Kali knows where mom’s underwear drawer is! Sean is a furrend of Bruce the sasquatch. We’ve never, ever, ever seen a sasquatch. Is there more than Bruce the sasquatch living around Midway? Of course, there must be or the sasquatch would die off. Kali says when they want a baby the girl sasquatch rubs tummies with the boy sasquatch. I better watch where I put my tummy.
