Mischievous Elf...

Up until now, the Elf has just been going through the motions, observe, report back to Santa, fill the next advent pocket and moving to a new perch.

We've moving up a level in the run up to Christmas. Last night the kids found small lengths of string attached to their ankles and wrists only to come down stairs to find Smudge sitting guiltily holding the string.

Managed to source a calligraphy pen yesterday, so was able to reply to three letters Smudge delivered to Santa.

Tonight, he may ribbon barracade their bedrooms.
