Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for December 22, 2023

Only on weekends.

Yes, he looks on the clock to me.

Probably.

Elf on the shelf ( nasty little spy ! ) thoughts : Man am I Bored , Boy is my butt sore , Someone move me so I am not looking at a Christmas tree……

One of my aunts “gave” us one of those things when the girls were much younger and were sharing a bedroom. One morning I went into to wake them up and the elf was off of his shelf and had been ripped to shreds. I found out that he had been knocked off by one of the cats, Loki, and chewed up by one of the dogs, they said it was Yoda. The suspected perpetrators got extra treats that morning. And the girls got praise and positive reinforcement for telling the truth. And the elf’s head became an ornament to be hidden in subsequent trees. Until Odinsdottir, our NFC (Norwegian Forest Cat) and CRCO (Chief Rodent Control Officer) came across it when she was a kitten and was in the tree.

I could lay claim to inventing Elf on a Shelf.

My first official date with my wife was around Christmas time 1965. I brought her a gift, and being the spastic person I am, I asked my mom to wrap it for me. She thought it would be a good idea to stick an elf on the package.

My wife put the elf on their tree. It became part of their household Christmas decorations. They did not move it every night, but each Christmas found it in a different location.

We have inherited the elf (who is still nameless after all these years) and he now has a new resting place each Christmas.

I like the Mothet Goose and Grim from a few years back with Grim saying “It’s a shelf on a elf.”

Shelf actualized.

He needs time to care for his mantel health.

They plenty of overtime, just not paid for it.

That would be shelfish.

Seasonal work. Doesn’t get paid more, just faster.

I dunno…kinda creepy if you ask me!

Yes.
