How does a elf on a shelf work?

The Elf on the Shelf elves have very special Christmas Magic that allows them to fly back to Santa to report that a child has been nice (or sometimes, naughty). You can get an Elf on the Shelf of your own straight from Santa and the North Pole. Just go to www.elfontheshelf.com. You will need some help from mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, or your aunt or uncle to pay the adoption fee. After a few days you will have your very own elf friend!
