Last year you might remember the arrival of Murray (yes, everything is named Murray in my 4-year-old Jake's life) the Elf from Elf-Magic. Murray arrives every year the day after Thanksgiving which officially starts the Christmas holiday season for our family.
Murray is on loan to us from Santa Claus for the holiday so that Jake can play with him and also to play along with Murray's Elfcapades. Each night we put Murray to bed in his suitcase/bed and sprinkle him with North Pole Snowflakes that allow him to come alive while we are all sleeping. Murray has lots of fun during his Elfcapades but also tends to get into some trouble. Last night he took all the red ornaments off the tree! Jake is so excited each morning to see what Murray has been up to.
This year Murray arrived with new Elfits. Our favorite is the Artic Play Elfit which is a miniature 6-piece winter set that includes a sky blue arctic jacket with a zipper for closure and lined in a soft lime green Polartec fabric, waterproof snowboard pant, white long-sleeve shirt, authenticated with the embroidered Elf Magic snowflake in lime green, lime green Polartec mittens edged with a blue blanket stitch and attached together with a lime green satin ribbon, lime green Polartec hat edged with a blue blanket stitch and topped in a pompom style and a pair of black boots. (Snowboard not included but can be downloaded from the Elf-Magic site)
I hope that this encourages you to find a tradition to share with your children. I know that Jake has been waiting all year for Murray to come back to visit and my husband and I enjoy helping Murray out each night (if needed). It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season - this reminds us that for children the holiday is magical. Murray keeps the magic alive for all us.

Our elf Martin has been up to mischief too. One night he pulled all the cans out of the pantry and built a house for himself on the kitchen table. Though he did clean up the dishes one night too.
I absolutely LOVE whoever came up with this idea :) It definitely brings the holiday season and the magic of Santa clause to a whole new level for kids.
