The Elf on the Shelf
The Elf on the Shelf is a 2005 children's book written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell. Based on a Christmas tradition that started in Aebersold's family when she was a child, it describes the role of an elf who is assigned by Santa Claus to monitor children's behavior. The book is packaged with a toy elf, and families are encouraged to name it and act as if it is genuinely watching them. Since its introduction, The Elf on the Shelf has become part of Christmas festivities in North America.
