Do parents move elves

Yes, many parents move elf dolls as part of the popular Christmas tradition known as the "Elf on the Shelf." The elf is said to be a scout sent by Santa Claus to monitor children's behavior in the lead-up to Christmas. Parents often reposition the elf each night in creative or playful ways to surprise their children and enhance the magic of the holiday season. This playful practice encourages excitement and anticipation for Christmas.
