I really want to believe at least one parent has had it inching closer and closer to their kid's bed. On Christmas the kid wakes up and it's on the bedside table, staring him in the face.



The book was published in 2004, right? We've had an almost identical elf for almost forty years. It was "Santa's elf," it has its own blanket and pillow that hang on the tree. Mostly its job is to fill the elf baskets, little knit baskets that hang on the tree, with a piece of candy, like a couple of Hershey's Kisses or something like that. In the morning, the kids come down and get their candy, and the elf is under the tree, napping. They put it back on the mantle or shelves or wherever they want to put it, and it goes back to delivering candy the next night. We had a candy elf, not a stalker elf.

My parents told us that it was a trainee elf learning how to deliver presents so it can help Santa.

Unsure where you're at but here in FL WaWas have sprung up across from every other 7/11 for the past couple years. I had no idea what they were prior to their arrival and now I don't go anywhere else! Of course my friend's finance from Philly says they're no comparison to Sheets, whatever THOSE are!

Sheetz. And she's wrong.

Who the hell rolls up their pants legs?

One gang signifier is which pants leg you have rolled up, so it is (was, I haven't worked in that area in a few years) an inner-city style.
