Guess who we found in the boxes of Christmas decorations. An elf on the shelf. This year he was officially named Jerry, which is funny to me. According to the book, the elf cannot be touched or he will lose his magical powers and not be able to fly back to the north pole to report to Santa. This has sparked a lot of hypothetical conversations in our house over the last two days.
What if he falls out of the tree and I catch him, does that count?
What if I shake the branch and he falls down and I have to pick him up before Magoo gets him, does that count?
What if I accidentally touch him because I didn't see him?
What if I just touch his back, does that count?
What about his legs?
At first I thought it was just about the challenge, you know, the fact that she can't so she wants to even more. But now I am wondering if she figures her best way to secure a spot on the nice list is to zap Jerry's powers so Santa will never know if she has done something bad.
