What the actual fuck is wrong with you morons?!?!?

Christmas is about using the hoax of a fat, jolly man spying on kids so they'll behave. It's especially important because people stress out easily this time of year.

Now assholes came up with a stupid fucking elf that shows kids how cute and fun it is to act like a deviant. It's the most fucked up Christmas thing ever!!!
 
It's so stupid. Who are these people that think it's a good idea?

You seem to think kids live in terror of the ideas of Christmas. Why?

Is the elf on a shelf stupid? Sure. Same way most things that give kids enjoyment are stupid to adults.

But you have obviously never seen the joy in a three year olds eyes as she wakes up wondering where the elf is now. Felt the love as she grabs your hand and drags you around the house looking for it....

How exactly is that stupid?
 
i just wanna know how playing hide and seek with a doll is encouraging children to "act like a deviant."
 
I always understood Christmas was about celebrating the birthday of the baby Jesus.
Who may or may not have existed and, if he did, certainly wasn't born in mid-winter near the sacred solstice with eastern mages hanging around and reindeer flying overhead.

But you knew that.
 
I just think it's instilling a big brother is watching mindset coupled with keeping up with the Joneses, so it's American as fuck!
 
I read a story written by a mom who, in a hungover induced panic, accidentally 'killed' their elf.

It seems she picked the oven in a hurried effort to move him before her kids discovered he was in the same spot as the day before. She forgot he was there, and later that night turned on the oven to preheat it to cook dinner. She then hid the evidence of her holiday crime. The 'elf' left a note that he was going on a short vacation; just enough time for the offending mom to find a replacement elf and hope her kids didn't notice the change.

I found it quite amusing. The elf himself, however, I find a bit creepy. I'm just glad I don't have kids in the age range to want an elf. I'm being brutally honest when I say I am just too lazy to keep up the ruse.
 
When did this even start? There was no elf on a shelf when I was young.

I know a family member that uses it to bribe her kids. I guess they are brats and the Santa theory does not work.
 
Elf on the shelf became a thing after the picture book was published. It'll be the next generation's nostalgia, so of course the current generations can't stand it.
