Jingle Joe is an over achieving elf. I’ll admit it. He’s backed by a momma who is a complete child at heart. This morning he was found chillaxin’ in a marshmallow bath much to the chagrin of my 7 year old twins who still believe, but have many questions brought on by doubting friends at school.
I remember that feeling. That Christmas AWE! Do you? Christmas was pure magic as a child. Childhood is a flash in the pan of life and this Fruit Cake of a Mom wants her guys to soak up all the wonder and fun it has to offer.
So Jingle Joe wrestles with Dinosaurs at this house. The midget triplet loved this one, but was worried he wouldn’t be able to resist joining in the fight and accidentally touching the elf. Whew! He restrained himself and Jingle Joe made it the whole day without a touch from those itchy fingers.
Jingle Joe returned this year with quite the debut. Green Pee in their potty started the game!
A make shift zip-line from window to lamp upon a candy canehad them all cracking up and wondering what Jingle Joe planned to do with that candy cane when he was done?! Which he left hanging on the zip-line the next night with a tag that said, “For Boo!”
And on the twins’ birthday Jingle Joe donned a party hat, tore into the cupcakes meant for school, hung a birthday banner, and left a trail of confetti from the foot of their beds to where he was perched ready to wish them a Happy Birthday.
Now, at this time you may:
1. Leave all jealous cause your too lazy or bahumbug to play along hate mail in the comment section below.
OR
2. Prepare to steal one of Jingle Joe’s ideas from above or the list of his other antics below!
*Decorate the tree with the kid’s underwear and sit innocently grinning on the mantle holding the last pair.
*Get caught in the A/C vent in the ceiling hanging upside down in desperation.
*Fly onto the Christmas tree aboard a new NASA Space Shuttle Ornament that the Space lovin’ twins will freak over.
*Hide out in the hermit crab cage. Then prepare for questions of magic loss from a crab touch. “No, crabs and other pets won’t remove elf magic. He just has a bad case of crabs!”
*Fly across the room on a toy airplane cradling baby Jesus and come to rest on the book shelf. Jesus Joy Ride!
I would love to hear your best Elf Antics! Please leave a comment with how it all went down!

A bad case of crabs! Ha ha. Jessie has been in the car hanging from the sunroof
I bow to your superior Elf ideas Momma! I didn’t want to set the bar too high, so our elf hasn’t been up to too many antics this year. And we’ve had to keep him out of reach, because when you’re three it’s just too tempting to touch!
The hubs and I have had a little fun putting Gus in some inappropriate situations just for the two of us to laugh over, though!
