That’s my Soprano’s Elf on a Shelf.
Warning….not for the faint of heart. You’ve seen the movie Bad Santa? Bah humbug. Don’t worry the kid version of Elf on the Shelf is coming tomorrow.
First of all, please no one email me and say what a horrible person I am and how I’ve disgraced the Elf on a Shelf game. I feel guilty enough as it is for putting poor “Buddy” through all this…..okay not really, it was kind of morbidly fun.

Our elf is named Buddy, too, and we also bought him at Barnes & Noble. We have not caught him doing anything bad yet, but I’ll admit I’d like to see that elf get up and move himself once in a while, so I can stop waking up at 4 am and thinking, “Oh, crap, I forgot to move the elf, but I’m too warm and cozy to get up and do it now…”
Katie says
You crack me up!
Magnolia Mom says
This is so awesome! I continue to hear what a nightmare the Elf has become in many households, which has cured me of ever wanting one. π Thanks for this post. All the disgruntled Moms will enjoy it.

OMG, Thanks! I so needed a good laugh today! I’ve been contemplating how to make our elf (Snowflake) swim with the fishes. Maybe a ziploc baggie and brick? Poor thing has already had a skewer jammed up her behind to help prop her up on things like picture frames and potted plants…

Never heard of Elf on a Shelf, but now I want one just to make him be naughty. π
Lil Miss Red T-Shirt says
Oh, that didn’t sound right… lol. To do “funny things with him.” Oh, um, that doesn’t sound right either. Err, for ‘fun activities and places he can be around the house.’
Elf on a Shelf… college edition coming soon.
Stephanie says
So funny I had to show my husband.
Kim says

Monique Verlato says
Oh my gosh! I can only imagine all of the other ideas that you guys ame up with. My absolute favorite one is “Buddy” buying Rx pills. I am SO excited to start having our elf in various locations.

Twins Squared says
That is hilarious! I was going to do the elf on the shelf with my kiddos last year. I had him all ready to go for the next morning. We had been on a play date that day and they had one in their house. Well as I was tucking my girls in they said, “Mommy we’re glad that we don’t have one of those elves at our house. He’s scary!” Ummm…. I had to return him.
Samantha says
love it! could you make him a new outfit? that would be funny too!
Kat Pick says
Hilarious….and dark…..love it!!
Kristen Brady says
Oh dear! What a laugh! I’m a horrible elf mover. Every morning I find myself running around looking for a new spot! Fortunately the boys don’t really know what’s going on yet. I better shape up soon though!
Laura says
Those pics are flippin awesome! U should do Boo a scrapbook of buddy and his antics for when she gets older and u pass him on down to her. Lol!

Ha ha, cute as can be!
Beth Morrow says
Lol…there is a site on Pinterest 101 ways to hide Elfie. The snow angel in flour is my favorite. I’ve bought on for all the grandkids!
Terri says
I wish these were around when my kids were young. My youngest son was during the beanie baby craze. All those had names and they also had distinct personalities. Most people did not understand our imagination…….. I had just as much fun as he did interacting with those stuffed fabric animals. He is now a graphic designer (employed) in Seattle and I couldn’t be prouder of him. He also was most sympathic when my husband was undergoing chemo and snuck ice cream to him in the hospital. Shaved his head when his hair was sparse and made me a pot of homemade soup the one time I came home after his operation. My husband is a cancer combatant like you will be. Hang in there. Each day is one closer to all better. Keep your elf naughty…… You will be surprised how much your naughty elf remains in your memory. Choose JOY
Monique says
I think I like the adult version of Elf on Shelf better!
Maria says
hahaha!!!
SARAH says
Fun. We’ve been playing the same game with a blue iguana. I’ve long since run out of original hiding places but it doesn’t seem to matter! The blender is one of the kids favourite places for finding ‘Blue’!
Leah says
Get down with your “Bad Ashley” self….i know, i know…i’m a 70’s child and it’s showing again π I LOVED seeing all of you PG-13 cuts….sooooo funny. Thanks for giving us all such a good giggle. I loved one of your followers idea of you making him a new outfit….i think it needs to be Boo Style of course. Thank you for choosing Joy and passing it on.. Love u π
Sarah says
oh my goodness. LOVE this….

lisarenata says

*snort* This is AWESOME. I think Sopranos elf and Good Time Buddy are my personal favs. π
Naomi says
I hadn’t heard of Elf on the Shelf until you posted your photos….I had a huge grin on face looking at each one. Now, I want to get one! I am single and live by myself…is it bad if I do this just for me?! I don’t think so! I’ll start now and carry on the tradition every year until I’m a grandma….Thanks for brightening my day! Can’t wait to see more photos.

This is great! Hilarious! My daughter’s bday party is Dec 11 and I am having friends and family over and planned on the elf being on the potty for the first person to go in and find him there! hahahaha!
Corine (@ComplicatedMama) says
This post CRACKS ME UP! Too funny!
We have 2 Elves now… Sometimes I think we have more fun hiding him than the kids have finding him lol
Crystal says
That is hysterical!!! I love it!!!! We have an elf on the shelf, not the one that comes with the book, but an elf that does the same things. This is great!!! Thanks for the laugh!
Sarah Noll says
That was hilarious! thanks for the laughs!!
Sammi Hines says
You are soooo not a horrible person for this! Lol. We’ve all thought about it! Haha. My fiances not allowed to touch him! Haha…he winds up in the dryer or in the stove or under the couch…he’s nuts. Lol.
Jenn says
Ashley, I never leave comments, but today was just too good. I absolutely love reading your blog. You have been through some really tough times lately, but still remain so positive and it is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing and choosing joy everyday.

OMG!!! Pam from Amber Inklings shared your web site and I’m soooo glad she did!!
Sure added some laughter to my day!
You go girl! Always knew that elf had a dark side, LOL
Deanna says
Love it! I think you should have included the photo of Buddy with his blonde “lady of the night” in this post.
I love the idea of the elf, but the book makes me gag. So sweetsy rhyme-y. Blech.
Nicole L. says
That’s hilarious!!!
Vicki T. says
I organize a reading program for an elementary school near my home,,,I’ve been wondering what gift to give the teachers-this is perfect! (I hope they can read the book to the kids and then let different children ‘hide’ the elf each day.)Thanks for a quick laugh!
Hannah B says
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen! I’m bummed I didn’t think of it first! Lol. My coworkers and I just had a conversation about this elf on a shelf thing today. I had never heard of it. Kinda freaks me out…I’m glad my parents never did this. I would have had nightmares!
Christy says
You crack me up! Thanks for the laugh!
judy livonius says
Sparkie is quite a guy. I guess it’s normal he would be more worldly living in California.
Ethan and Brady love him and always rush to find him in the morning hours. I’ll tell Jennifer to send some of her tips! Yours are a riot! Too funny and glad you all are having fun between naps! xox, jl
Ingrid says
Bahahaha!!!! & I LoVe the Naughty Buddy even better : )
Nicole says
Our Elf, Jack, has hung everyone’s under pants on the celing fan blades. We know it was him because we found him tangled, by his foot, in the pull cord for it the next morning. The children were not to happy with him. π
Moira says
I just showed these to my mom who had never heard of Elf on the Shelf before, she was howling with laughter — how creative!!

Ange says
It is no worse than the things my husband and I did with the Flat Stanley we were sent by a 3rd grader.
Suzanne says
I love your sense of humor. My kids are too old for EOTS but I admire the effort my sister in law always makes for her kids with the game. Your ideas are hilariously inappropriate! Keep up the good work, you’re not a loser!
alesia says
Whats fun about this is that maybe as your kids get older and start to loose interest you can start making them do older thing for you middle school – high school kids..
