Score! <br /><br />We have an Elf. I love the kids' excitement over finding the elf each morning. But as a parent, I hate the idea of teachers having them in the classroom. I dind't even know that was a thing until I read this. <br />It's just not their place because like you said, they don't control what Santa brings and how the Christmas goes at home. I don't like that. And what about kids that don't have elves at home? Or don't do Christmas? Yup, nope...the more I think about it, the more I really am not a fan of the idea.

But it’s not always because of the kids. It’s most often because of the increasing demands.

It just isn't my thing.<br /><br />YES to fav/fave. It's bad enough that our society feels it has to shorten every word anyway, but at least spell it correctly.<br /><br />I have to be honest, I've never understood the hype over the royal family. Like, we left England for a reason...maybe that should go in a confessions post of my own, where everyone will lambaste me because REAL LIFE PRINCESSES and all that.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-26609156323438367272017-11-30T09:33:43.389-06:002017-11-30T09:33:43.389-06:00I frequently get two of the same color in a Starbu...I frequently get two of the same color in a Starburst pack. It's only bad because I keep going until I get one of each color. <br /><br />I hate the Elf period.
