Hang in in there, guys.

Only a few more nights of having to remember to move the elf before he packs up and heads back to the North Pole again for another 11 months. Phew. I's say most of us are looking forward to being able to go asleep without having to panic about what to do with the elf first, no? Anyway, if this is you, and you are pretty much flat out of ideas as for what to do with him for the last couple of nights – fear not, we got you. Here are 10 sweet – and not-too-complicated ideas for these next couple of nights. You're welcome. 1. Candy cane treasure hunt What can be better than starting the day with a treasure-hunt?! 2. Easy snow angel  For those nights when you just need to get some sleep. 3. Gone fishing How cute! This fishing set can be ordered on Etsy – or you can just make your own, of course. 4. Let's build a snowman Cuuute – and more importantly, quick to do (so you can get some sleep, mama!). 5. Ziplining elf Wheeee! Just imagine how excited they'll be to find him like this when they get up. 6. Dinosaur train Elves like to play with all your toys once you go asleep. 7. Say it with eggs Elves are pretty egg-cited about Christmas, obvs. 8. Teacher elf Because their cuddly toys need schooling too, obvs. 9. When you gotta go, you gotta go elf Good job, elf – at least you went IN the potty. 10. See you next year Sure it's a little bit sad that he has to leave – but don't worry – it's only 11 months until he's back once more!
