BOUGHT an Elf on the Shelf but not sure what to do with it?
It's that time of the year again where parents send their children off to bed and then have to start stifling their giggles over their elf's latest bit of late night mischief.
Thousands of homes across the area have been getting involved with the tradition which sees families tell children Santa’s scout elves are sent to be Santa’s eyes and ears and help him manage his naughty or nice list.
And it seems every year parents are getting more and more creative with the positions children find the Christmas elves in the next morning.
But if you are struggling for ideas as we get closer to Christmas Day, we have put together some of our favourites so far from readers.

5. Or if they have finally been caught for causing mischief, how about this
6. If you think your elf is good with the ladies you might want to try this

8. He might be one of those organised elves who likes to arrange sack races in pick 'n' mix bags with his mates

Or how about a game of Elf Twister?
9. Or maybe he spends his time at night getting creative with toilet paper
10. Or there are other ways to build a snowman like this with cotton wool...
Or this with marshmallows...
11. Speaking of being creative...
12. But one thing is for sure, you should never leave him near flour or icing sugar

13. Or your shower gel
14. And never, ever leave him near your light-up cinema box
