One of the most exciting parts of the Holiday season is opening Christmas presents kept under the Christmas tree. Anticipating your presents after waiting the whole year, hoping you were not on Santa’s naughty list. This makes me think. Have you ever wondered how Santa knows if you have been good or naughty? One of the answers could be an elf, or the Elf on the Shelf, to be precise.
“The Elf on the Shelf” is a book where authors Carol Aebersold and Chanda Bell write about a visiting scout elf that hides in the house and reports back to Santa; staying from Thanksgiving till Christmas Eve. Children are encouraged to name the elf, tell him about their wishes, but never touch, else the magic disappears.
From starting as a picture book in 2004, the mother-daughter duo sold millions of Elf on the Shelf dolls and even created an animated TV special. They founded The Lumistella Company, formerly Creatively Classic Activities and Books (CCA and B), which has grown into a staggering business over the years, with Netflix deal, novels, other doll characters, games, and more.
