That was me before I realized I could actually use The Elf on the Shelf tradition to point my kids toward Jesus and help keep their focus on the real meaning of Christmas through his silly shenanigans.

‘Everything but the Elf’ is a Christ-centered digital download. Each elf shenanigan is meaningful, positive, centered around family and giving-focused.

When you purchase, you’ll get instant access to a month of files to print at home including: an elf themed grocery shopping list for everything you’ll need, a December calendar organized by elf ideas, colorful printables, scripture cards, good deed ideas, 1 minute set-up videos and daily emails to remind you to move the dang thing!

You’ll spend your December mornings watching your little ones grow in their faith all while having fun and being silly!

Here’s a look at some of the fun you can expect!

‘Everything but the Elf’ downloading will be available through December 25th. If you are wanting to be reminded when it becomes available for the 2023 season, join the mailing list below.

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

*Follow Everything but the Elf on Instagram 

*Watch the video first to see the setups. (you’ll get video clips in your email each day too)

*Print all the files on white cardstock.

*Look over the shopping/household list before shopping and gather all materials on hand. (I store mine all together in a hidden box for the season)

*Cut out all printables before the month begins.

*Setup shenanigans the night before to reduce panic, lol! Don’t worry, I’ll send you an email reminder too!

*Take a photo of your babies in the mornings! Post and tag @everything_but_the_elf!
