Please Santa....send an Elf our way!!

I'm sure you all are aware of this already, but the day after Thanksgiving isn't just "Black Friday", but it's a HUGE day for Santa's many Elves. This is the day that the Elves are rewarded for all of their hard work during the year- it's an "Elf Vacation" if you will. On Thanksgiving night, Santa looks for houses with children to send his Elves to as their reward. How does Santa pick the houses? Well, let me tell you.... first the children let Santa know that they would like an Elf visit when they write their "Letter to Santa". It is certainly a long journey from the North Pole to Texas, so before bed the children leave a cup of water and crackers out to lure the Elves. I'm sure you are wondering why water and crackers...why not Diet Coke and Hershey Kisses? Well, as much as the Elves want to travel and explore, it's hard to leave the comfort of the North Pole. The crackers remind them of the crunching of the snow and the water reminds them of melted snowflakes.

So, tonight we have written our letter to Santa (boy is that thing long!!!) and placed our crackers and water on the table in hopes that Santa will send a friend our way!
