I am a self-acknowledged Grinch, a Scrooge. I'm okay with it. I could skip all the holidays and be just fine. But for some reason I was chosen to raise a child that delights in all things December. So, mostly for her, I buy into the spirit of the season and make it special.
We've never done Elf on the Shelf before and probably won't again, but this year there was a chance to support another adoptive family by purchasing an elf kit, so we did. The elf has already been quite busy in her first 6 days with us.

I baked and we delivered Christmas cookies to family and friends.
We decorated the tree.
And, of course, St. Nick delivered the kids' holiday pajamas and our lazy elf just co-tailed on that event.
Week one - done!
