Family Tradition........

Sunday's in November usually equal a pot of fresh sauce with meatballs cooking on the stove and football on the TV. Sunday family traditions which included a traditional early Italian dinner was one of my traditions I carried over into my family.  Now that my kids spend every other Sunday dinner with their Dad that tradition is not done every Sunday.  That along with sharing the holidays can sometimes make traditions and special occasions a bit of a challenge. The kids don't seem to mind as much they enjoy both homes and both family traditions. One family tradition my kids enjoy and this one seems to happen earlier and earlier, the ELF on the Shelf.  Here is a picture of the elf:

You place the Elf on  Shelf and each day when the kids wake up the Elf has "magically" moved into a new location.  The Elf represents Santas' way of watching the kids each and every day to make sure they are all behaving.  If this Elf helps the children behave then having an Elf on shelf will be in my home every holiday season.  It would be great if we had a teacher or principal on the shelf every day showing the kids that if you do not do their homework and behave they may get detention!  :)  Wishful thinking I guess.  What's your holiday or family traditions would you like to share?
