Chantelle Hartman Malarkey, an interior designer, home chef and lifestyle expert, also eagerly awaits the opportunity to welcome her family’s Scout Elf each Christmas season. Children can talk to their special visitors, though Scout Elves can only listen and never speak to humans. Of course, one of the biggest joys of the Elf on the Shelf tradition is finding where the Scout Elf has landed after a trip back from the North Pole. At the start of each Christmas season, the elf appears to serve as Santa's eyes and ears, and every night it travels back to the North Pole to report in.

These magical elves help Santa manage his nice list by taking note of a family’s Christmas adventures and reporting back to Santa at the North Pole nightly. The Elf on The Shelf is the heart of The Lumistella Company, with Carol’s daughters Chanda Bell and Christa Pitts at the helm as co-founders and co-CEOs.

After reporting back to Santa at the North Pole each night, Scout Elves are found the next morning in a new spot in the home. Jeanna Crawford, the lifestyle influencer behind Jenna Loves Christmas on Instagram, sees the tradition as an opportunity for adults to get in on the holiday fun. The magic of Elf on the Shelf reaches beyond the children the dolls are intended for and gives parents permission to play, flex their creative muscles and feel confident that they’re actively participating in the memory making during an otherwise busy holiday season," she says. My niece thoroughly enjoyed looking for the elf on each visit to nanny and bampi's and I actually rather enjoyed helping relocate the elf each time as well as reading the book.I am thrilled that our family pastime continues to create merry moments which are being passed from one generation to the next with the earliest adopters of our tradition now sharing it with their own children," Bell says. And while it's all in good fun, there's a very specific goal in mind: to encourage kids to be on their best behavior in the days leading up to Santa's arrival. Obsessed would be an understatement,” she says of her household in December, when Ken their “main” Elf is visiting.
