The tales of a bright, warm and hopeful North Pole raised our dampened spirits and convinced our children that Christmas magic was still very, very real.

My children simply adore Elfie’s letters – we’ve been amazed by them for the past two years and the girls are already asking if I think Elfie will be back this year! There's also the option for older children to jumble the letters up and solve as an anagram on Christmas Eve. Every year we love seeing your creative pictures of where your little ones have found their Elf on the Shelf each morning. What a magical thing these Christmas letters are…Because our son loved receiving the Christmas letters from the Elves last year we decided we would get them again this year.To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.

One comment added: "I love your idea and use it every year, so I actually enjoy the whole event too rather than curse it daily! For example, this fabulous Christmas Elf Resource Pack contains numerous easy-to-apply resources, including cut-outs, cards and more that are tailor-made to bring excitement and joy to your kids.This will be my third year with the elf letters, my daughter loves the stories and keeps her excited every day looking for them. and along with our NEW Personalised Family Christmas Memory Box, can add extra magic and precious childhood memories to all family Christmas traditions. Obviously we wont know the full effect on the children involved until the letters are ‘posted’ but as an improvement it might be worth considering stating the names of the child or children involved, on the packaging e. I absolutely love the story follows on from day to day and i can’t wait to see my little boys face when he receives his first letter.
