This is a Christmas mash-up of a Friday’s Note. A little bit of cheer from this year’s sack of toys. Our youngest is in the age sweet spot of believing in seasonal magic. This year’s special edition of magic has come in the form of Scarlet, a 10 inch tall elf-on-the-shelf who has a propensity for watching children during the holiday season. Sarah was beside herself when Scarlet arrived at our house. Friends or Sarah had been telling her wild stories of how their elf would keep moving around their house and on weekends perform mischievous acts. Now the magic has come home.
Right off the bat Scarlet showed she was a chip off the old Yule log. Here she is enjoying a warm Christmas cupcake with frosting and sprinkles.
After enjoying the cupcake the next night Scarlet decided to take a ride on the railroad. Here she is riding the train as it passes by the German village. She doesn’t seem to mind that it’s the Santa Fe passenger train going through a European town.
On the weekend she decided to kick it up a notch while blatantly trying to deflect blame to our older daughter. Here she is in the bathroom with the lipstick on the mirror graffiti trick. We performed hand writing analysis to clear Alex of wrong doing in this case. As the days progressed Scarlet was found hanging from Sarah's ceiling fan, planking in the front room, hiding in the Christmas tree, bungie jumping from the mistletoe as well as peeking out of the Christmas stockings that were hung by the chimney with care.
I hope that you are moving and a pace this time of year that enables you to enjoy the magic.
Here are direct holiday links to Friday’s Notes from not so long ago.
