    About this ebook

    Christmas is a magical time of the year. How often have you lain in bed, visions of sugar plums dancing through your head? Maybe you’ve began to gently drift into a dream when, suddenly, you realize . . . you didn’t move the elf!

    That darn elf. Making you get out of bed when you’re all snuggled up after a long day of gift-wrapping. But you know that if you don’t move it, the kids will begin to unravel the Christmas secrets you’ve worked so hard to preserve over the years! Before you know it, they’ll think Santa isn’t real and they’ll be all grown up. Fine, you say to yourself, I’ll get up and move the freakin’ elf. However, as time goes on, your kids start to notice the elf’s moving to the same spots over and over, doing the same old things. It starts to become less believable.

    For when you’re stuck in this predicament, author Jason Deas has developed 101 different ideas of what to do with your Christmas elf. Get St. Nick’s assistants off the shelf and into a variety of creative situations that will amaze and amuse your children:

    Make your elf some skis for water skiing and snow skiing
    Set up your elf like he’s been working out all night long
    Put your elf in a boat in the bathtub
    Create a drum set with a few cans, pots, plastic containers, and other odds and ends
    Have your elf become a mechanic and fix a toy car

    Filled with Christmas spirit and humor, 101 Things To Do With Your Christmas Elf is your handbook to surviving December and making sure you keep your little holiday helper on the move.

      The Slide

      Find anything in the house you can make a slide with, and possibly something for the elf to ride down on. I used a simple ironing board and a tiny float I found in the garage. I propped the ironing board on our piano bench, positioned the elf, and voila! It took me about five minutes. From my children’s reaction, you would have thought it took me hours.

      If you don’t have an ironing board, you can use a piece of wood, a big piece of cardboard, a baby bed mattress, the leaf from the dining room table that you never use, or anything to create the illusion of a slide.

      If you don’t have a float, a laundry basket could work, or the elf can just slide on its own. Sometimes, I put the elf on the float and place other stuffed animals in different poses at different points on the slide so it looks like they’re all having fun together.

      All of these ideas will work for just one elf, but will be a lot more fun with additional friends. So, go out and buy more elves! Or you can always use teddy bears, dolls, and other stuffed animals as extras.

      Supplies:

      Ironing board (or something similar) to make slide

      Bench or chair to prop
