\"Kindness-Elves_1mb.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Of all the Christmas traditions our family celebrates, the Kindness Elves are my favourite.<\/p>\n

Just like Elf on the Shelf, a Kindness Elf is sent directly from the North Pole. They arrive on our doorstep December 1st<\/sup>(ish) and include a letter from Santa reminding the girls why they\u2019re here and how to take care of them. <\/p>\n

But instead of monitoring the children\u2019s behaviour, the Kindness Elf\u2019s main job is to remind kids about all the different ways there are to be kind \u2013 at Christmas and throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Each of my daughters has her own elf, and every morning (okay, most mornings) they wake up to find their elves in a new spot, clutching a note that\u2019s written, suspiciously, in mommy\u2019s hand-writing that says something like \u201csit with someone new at lunch today\u201d, or \u201cplay with someone new at recess\u201d, or \u201ccall Grandma and Grandpa to tell them you love them.\u201d The Elves\u2019 mission is to remind us of simple ways to show kindness and embrace the spirit of the season.<\/p>\n

When they don\u2019t move (because obviously they\u2019re exhausted), we tell the girls they must have liked playing Jenga or climbing the Christmas tree SO MUCH they decided to stay there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen how did they get the notes?\u201d one of the kids will ask, and I will curse my insistence on teaching them critical thinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cMagic,\u201d I\u2019ll say, which is my answer for everything Christmas-related, and also when I\u2019m tired.<\/p>\n

We got the idea for the Kindness Elves from their adorable website<\/a>, and after I\u2019d picked up an Elf on the Shelf at two or three different stores but could never bring myself to buy it. There was just something about him, in addition to the price tag, that I couldn\u2019t get my head around. Maybe it was the idea that someone else was going to be lording the \u201cI\u2019ll tell Santa\u201d threat over my kids, and I am loathe to relinquish that privilege.<\/p>\n

Or maybe it\u2019s because I\u2019m trying to teach my kids not to tattle tale and putting a little red dude on the shelf to do exactly that seems a bit hypocritical. But then again, my kids don\u2019t even know what hypocritical means so I could probably get away with it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll admit, I see the cute outfits, the pets, and all the Elf on the Shelf accessories and I get a little jealous because they\u2019re adorable and I\u2019m still an eight-year old girl at heart. And who among us does not want to buy clothes for our $40 fictional Elf whose main job is to narc on our kids to another<\/em> fictional being? And what kind of monster would deny a toy\u2019s right to have its own pet, such as a huggable plush reindeer for $35.95 plus tax?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all a bit weird but it doesn\u2019t stop me from occasionally wanting to be part of the Elf on the Shelf craze. And it doesn\u2019t stop me from respecting a family\u2019s right to develop its own traditions. I\u2019m not ragging on the Elf on the Shelf, it\u2019s just not for us.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure Elf on the Shelf can be effective in some way. Maybe when the kids are grown I\u2019ll get my own Elf who can narc back to my Fitbit or my gym instructor about all the wine I\u2019m drinking and all the exercise I\u2019m not doing. He could wrap himself around the fridge door handle so his creepy, crap-eating grin and the idea of being shamed by a 7-inch doll, will cause me to think twice about pouring another glass of merlot or shoving another hunk of cheese down my gullet.<\/p>\n

But I digress.<\/p>\n

Kindness Elves are a favourite tradition not because they allow me to indulge my Elf on the Shelf fantasies, but because it\u2019s one small way to embrace the holiday spirit. We\u2019re all going one hundred miles an hour at this time of year and I can count on one hand the number of times I stop to talk to my kids about what Christmas really means, or should mean, beyond presents and parties and chocolate.<\/p>\n

I love watching my girls get excited about putting up the lights, or picking out the tree or watching a Christmas movie together, but it\u2019s even better when I see them find joy in giving to others \u2013 whether that\u2019s an actual gift or simply giving of themselves. The Kindness Elves help us encourage a way of thinking and behaviour that\u2019s less about the Toys R\u2019 Us catalogue and more about peace on earth, goodwill to others. It\u2019s fun, age-appropriate and none of us feels left out when our friends proudly display their elf\u2019s shenanigans: \u201cDid you see the picture I posted of Ernie last night? We pretended he was pooping on the cookies but they were really chocolate chips!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And it works for me too. Many times I\u2019ve hauled myself out of bed, cursing under my breath about forgetting to move the Elves or to attach their notes. And then I read the simple instruction meant for a seven-year old: give someone a hug for no reason<\/em>, and I remember that the Christmas spirit can really be as simple as that.<\/p>\n

In addition to the website above, you can purchase small elf dolls at craft stores like <\/em>Michael\u2019s<\/em><\/a> for about $10 each.  <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
