The boys started wondering if the elf was going to come back this year around late November. I was actually surprised they remembered, but they were pretty excited about Jingles and were hoping for his return. Eventually, he surprised them one morning by showing up in their bedroom when they woke one morning and the game was on! Jingles is the highlight of every morning as the boys search for his new location. He's a sweet little thing, and not a naughty elf like some others I've … [Read more...]
