Simon the elf

Meet Simon

Simon joined our family in December of 2008 right after Ella was born. 

Simon is a scout elf. Santa sent him to us to watch and report. Simon is Santa's helper. Each night while we are sleeping Simon flies to the North Pole to report to St. Nick. He comes back before we awake. Each morning we have to find him. So far we have found Simon on...

The mantle...

The light above the kitchen table...

The only rule that we must follow is that we can not touch Simon. If we do his magic might go and Santa won't hear all he has seen or know.  The night before Christmas his job will end, and he will spend the rest of the year with Santa. When the holidays come around next year he will magically reappear. 

What a fun holiday tradition we have started. Ella doesn't quite get it yet, but it's fun to show her where he has reappeared each morning. So far, Ella has been on her best behavior so Simon should have all good things to report to Santa!
