| This is Brandon, the Elf on the Shelf~ He comes to our house every year after Thanksgiving. He watches us closely and then reports back to Santa Clause each night. We are always on our best behavior around Brandon. When he returns to our house each morning he finds a new spot to sit and watch us. We have fun trying to find him every morning. |
