Now, this isn't a creepy little elf "peeping" in your window (wink, wink). It's a fun new family Holiday Tradition! Bear with me here-I promise you'll love it!
Mr. Peeps is an elf sent from Santa's workshop to watch if your kids are "Naughty" or "Nice". He arrives with a poem soon after Thanksgiving and goes home with Santa on Christmas Eve. He was a instant HIT at our house last year! Here is the poem that goes along with him:
Christmas is approaching, and this is the daySanta has sent Mr. Peeps to your house to stay.He send this small elf to your house and mine.Soon after Thanksgiving, He must be on time.Mr. Peeps has a purpose. His purpose will be,To whisper to Santa all the good that he sees.Soon after he gets here, he moves only at nightTo high places, low places, he stays in plain sight.In the kitchen, for instance, he sits high on a shelf.Mr. Peeps can sit anywhere, for he is an elf.He holds very still when he thinks you are watching.His magic is precious, it fades with on touching.He sits on the tree on Christmas Eve day.He knows that Santa is soon on his way.He waits and he waits without making a noise.He waits until Santa arrives with the toys.So you better be nice and mind what you sayBecause Mr. Peeps will tell Santa when he comes with his sleigh.Once Christmas is here and Santa has come,Mr. Peeps must leave, for his job is well done.But, he will return next year on the very same day,To watch your behavior as you work and play.- Sharon Reynolds
Isn't that fun?? A great way to help your kids behave this season. Pop on over to your local $1.00 store and see if they have any "elves" or click on over to Etsy and pick up a great handmade one or a kit to make one yourself!

My girlfriend does this for her autistic son, to help with the anticipation of Christmas. His elf friend, Buddie, got a girlfriend this year, Sarah, and throughout the season, they do silly things while the family is sleeping and take pictures of it! This year, so far, they've tried out the washing machine, wrapped the tree in toilet paper, and eaten the leftover Halloween candy!
Where did you get your darling elf or did you make it? It is SO cute – I haven't been able to find one nearly as cute. If you made it – did you have a pattern?
I didn't make the elf – was lucky enough to find him at the $1 dollar store near christmas.
good luck! You can always try Etsy to find buy a great pattern!
