Unless you've got young children this thread will go right over your head and you'll be Googling to see what I'm on about. Betcha do laugh

So Jingles has done some bowling, set up half a dozen Coke cans and a tree bauble as a bowling lane laugh. Then last night she wrapped Loo roll round the tree cry and today while the little 'uns were at school she was a good Jingles and bought the two of them new Xmas themed bed quilts.wavey

What other things can she do?

All help appreciated.

Last night the misses cut a 2L Coke bottle in half, put Jingles in, then put the wrapper back around. My lad was amazed when he woke up to find Jingles stuck in a bottle with a note on display showing ' I only wanted a drink and fell in'.

Tonight he has made a snow angel on the wooden floor (Flour).

Its great for the kids, my lads face in the morning is priceless. Only another 21 ideas needed. This is the 2nd year of Jingles now.

Elf on the shelf.
The elf comes alive at night when the children are asleep and reports back to santa on how good the children have been that day. When he returns in the morning he is found in all different positions around the house, usually having been up to a bit of mischief. The children have to find him in the morning, suitable for ages 4-8ish (or -i know all about Santa)

Further evidence if it was needed that Xmas has got completely out of hand.

It's an American thing (obviously) that i believe is supposed to last from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day, it's from a book written in 2005. I had to Google it, two kids in my household and no Elves to be seen here!

Bang on.

We're doing a moderate tree, Xmas Eve mince pie and carrot for reindeer, Xmas Day tukey roast and then it's all over until next year.

So Jingles is a spy. Tape him to a stick, blindfold him and shoot him. Happy Holidays.

My sister runs her own toy shop and can't get enough of the things. Bonus for her but unfortunately my money is staying in my wallet this time.

I'm all for that but these things cost the best part of £30. Have a look at them and they look like something you win from hook a duck at the fair!.

They also look freaky as hell. Chucky MK2.

Who says you have to buy the "official" one?

We've had a toy Elf for something like 7 years now, so factor it down to a cost of fun per year if you like.

To me my daughters face is worth the few quid.

I'm doing Elf on the Shelf from September next year. Christmas needs to be stretched out longer, you see.
