Does the Elf on the Shelf leave a goodbye letter?

Answered by John Hunt

Dear [Child’s Name],

As Christmas Eve draws near, it’s time for me to say goodbye and return to the North Pole. But before I go, I wanted to leave you a special letter to express how much joy and happiness I’ve experienced being your Elf on the Shelf this year.

I have had the most amazing time watching over you and seeing all the wonderful things you’ve done. From your acts of kindness to your creativity, you have truly made this holiday season magical. It has been a privilege to be a part of your family’s Christmas traditions.

I want you to know that I have cherished every moment spent with you. From the silly antics and mischievous pranks to the heartfelt notes and messages we’ve exchanged, each interaction has brought a smile to my face. Your laughter and excitement have filled my heart with warmth and joy.

Throughout the month, I’ve seen you grow and learn. You have shown great responsibility by following the rules and not touching me, even though I may have tempted you with my mischievous poses. I’m proud of how you’ve shown respect for the magic of Christmas and the role I play in it.

Remember, even though I won’t be physically present anymore, the spirit of Christmas and the magic of the Elf on the Shelf will always be with you. As you continue to spread joy and love during this holiday season, know that I’ll be watching from afar, cheering you on and celebrating your every triumph.

I hope that the memories we’ve created together will stay with you for a lifetime. And I hope that each time you see an Elf on the Shelf in the future, it will remind you of the joy and wonder we shared.

As I return to the North Pole, I’ll be sharing stories about you with Santa and the other elves. I’ll tell them how kind, creative, and special you are. They’ll be eager to hear about all the wonderful things you’ve done this year, and they’ll be looking forward to seeing you on Christmas Eve.

So, my dear [Child’s Name], as I bid you farewell, know that you hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Christmas traditions and for making this year truly unforgettable.

Wishing you a magical Christmas filled with love, laughter, and joy.

With warmest regards,

Your Elf on the Shelf
