There are rules which come along with your elf, such as your children having to come up with a name for them and not being able to touch the elf.
The no-touching rule is explained in the Elf on the Shelf book, as when children touch the elves, they lose their magic and cannot fly home to Santa.
Each December social media is filled with creative parents posing their elves in all manner of funny, naughty and hilarious poses.
With 24 days of Advent to count down with your elf, coming up with ideas for each day can be quite difficult.
