A Different Kind of Elf on the Shelf

I have to share this new tradition also. Instead of Elf on a Shelf (which personally I'm not crazy about), how about having an elf that does good things?  How about a Kindness Elf? Over on These Creative Juices  blog Beckie shares a poem you can use to introduce the elf to your children. She also has a list of kind things that your family can do. The good deeds start on Dec.13 and go for 12 days.

I love this idea! I even have an elf that would work. I may have to adjust this a little since I don't see my grandchildren everyday. What do you think? Do you do Elf on a Shelf?
