Elf on the Shelf - A Public Apology + BONUS GIVEAWAY

So I've been feeling/acting kind of "Scrooge-y" lately.

Not the duck kind.

 More like the kind below.

And even tho I kept brushing it aside, obviously there was a reason.

There always is, isn't there?

Anywhoo the reason isn't important.

Not in today's blog post anyway.  

Bare with me, because after the awesome.sauce break weekend we just had 

I'm no longer feeling that way. #PTL

I'm thankful for my friends and fam that dealt with my "Scrooge-i-ness" #thankyou 

but the person who took the brunt of it. 

Was The Elf.

Maybe you know him/her by a different name?

Maybe Ralph? Maybe Milli & Vanilli {yup a duo!} 

Maybe B. Fiddlesticks? {He's my fav, by far!}

But Yes, I speak of thee Elf on the {freakin} Shelf.

My sister posted on Facebook asking what the Hell was Elf on the Shelf?

I blew up her post.

Even adding #dumb to my rant of a paragraph.

See?

Scroooooooge I tell ya!

So.not.me.

Even tho I still think he/she is a creepy looking thing, 

everything else I said I'm "blaming" on my Scrooooge episode.

After posting my Facebook rant, not 5 minutes later my SIL Annie commented and said that she had just bought one for my nephew Kai and she thought it would be a fun way to bring a little extra Christmas magic in. 

To say I felt like a jack-a would be spot on.

Who was this bahumbug of a person I was acting like?

My sister called me {Because she always effin knows! Love you sistah!} 

and off on a rant I went.

She was like "You're really that pissed about an Elf" ?

Yeah... no.   

It all came out.

It always does right? #thankfulforyousister

To make a long sob story short, I do want to apologize to the Elf on the Shelf.

I didn't have any "real" beef with you.

To be honest, I'm thinking of getting one! #hypocrite #whateves

I think it would help me in better dealing with the whole "Santa debacle".

Thoughts on Elf on a Shelf?

Do you have one?

Do you follow "the rules"?

I heard about the rules, but am thinking I'll just make my own.

What's a public apology without a little bribe?

Not a good one right?
