What do you put on the elf on the shelf if you touch it?

If you touch the Elf on the Shelf and it loses its magic, you can write a letter to Santa explaining what happened and apologizing. Place the elf near the Christmas tree so it can be found easily by Santa, who can then restore its magic. Remember that the magic of the Elf on the Shelf is all about fun and imagination, so don't worry too much about it!
