He Sees You When You're Sleeping!
Alright, if the Barbie with the video camera was not your cup of tea, here's another hot toy to consider. The Elf on the Shelf is selling like hotcakes. It's an elf, it's a book, it's a kit and it sells for $30.
The brainchild of Carol Aebersold who runs the company with her twin daughters, got started from a Christmas tradition she shared for many years with her family. Ms. Aebersold would hide the red bedecked plastic elf, n her home several days before Christmas. The elf kept watch on her kids and knew who was naughty and who was nice. Then the elf would fly off to the North Pole and make his report to Santa. Word of mouth, turned this family tradition into a multi-million dollar business. Now, why didn't I think of that! Sounds like a fun new holiday tradition to add in our family. My only regret is that I missed out getting one this Christmas but there's plenty of time to pick one up before next December. |
