@drjwells@courtneymilan I totally thought Encanto, and I was like okay that makes a little sense, but why so worked up over it? When it actually made no sense.
My youngest told me that she wanted one of those things here. I said, "No, baby, I don't allow spies in my home. They're just spying for Santa to see if you're good."
"Ugh, Mama, it's just a Christmas decoration that's magical."
"The answer is still no."
*taps mic*
Why are we acting like “Elf on the shelf” is something we all grew up with? This thing came out of nowhere and we’re all pretending it’s some classic tradition.
Also, the WORK I see people put in for that Elf bullshit is not for me. I had chaotic crazy string armed Leprechauns here when she decided to make a trap for them and since then I say oh but they make such a mess, we can't try to trap them again.
