[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 6 and 4 and we’ve made it this far without them asking about the elf on the shelf but my oldest is in K and it finally happened this year. We do Santa but I try not to make it a huge focus. We’ve always done advent instead with a calendar and talked about the meaning of advent - we’re very involved with our traditional Presbyterian church and the main reason I haven’t started the elf is because we already do the advent calendar and I don’t want to add a second secular thing in since Santa already comes and we have other traditions like going to zoo lights, going to tea downtown, the nativity pageant at church, and lots of parties. My question is, does every single kid at school have an elf? And if we decide to forego that tradition, how should I explain to them why we do? I’m not totally opposed to doing the elf but it seems like a lot of work and my hope it to keep the religious piece the most important part of Christmas. [/quote]
