It will no longer be Elf on the Shelf with simple Christmas tradition. But for this family in their home after the father of the family made his cute four-month-old son into an elf.

Stated in one of an article authored by Julija Televiciute of Bored Panda, it was revealed that the art director Alan Lawrence, who has six children, had made his four month old baby Rockwell into a Christmas elf.

Lawrence said, “All of our friends do the Elf on the Shelf and I’ve always thought it was sort of creepy, but sort of fun — this idea of an elf coming to live in your home and moving around to different places,”

The said Elf on the Shelf was called to be one of the special scout that was sent from Santa Claus to monitor and manage. Children are running around to see if there scout elf has arrived. Lawrence stated what if it is a true elf.

Here is the exerpt of the article by the father:

Around the first week of December a random elf showed up in our family room. At first I was alarmed and told the kids to stay in their rooms while I tried to figure out what was going on. I was going to call the police but my wife told me I was over reacting. We called our neighbors and apparently some of them have elves in their houses as well. Our neighbors seem to think this is normal and tell us that he will be in our home until Christmas. They also told us that he will watch our children during the day and wander our house at night getting into things. They thought this was normal and that “it is so fun”. Im not sure how I feel about the idea of a small stranger in red tights wandering around my home at night watching my kids. I want to be positive about this but it makes me nervous. Ive decided to allow him to stay (I don’t think I really have a choice) but I am keeping a close eye on him and have decided to document all of days he is here. I will continue to add days to this post until he decides to return home to the Candy Cane forrest or wherever he came from. If you have any advice please leave it in the comments below.

Day 1: We woke up this morning to find and elf in our family room. Our neighbors seem to think he is part of the “Elf On The Shelf” program but we are still not sure. He doesn’t talk much, just sits around watching us and eats all of our food.

I’m just glad he’s wearing a diaper and I pray that he know how to change them.

If anything changes I will let you know.
