My brother and sister in law did Elf on the Shelf for years when their kids were young and they (adults) grew to loathe it.
Too much work trying to come up with little scenarios for the elf.Nor have I!

Too much work trying to come up with little scenarios for the elf.
I will buy you one. Morning advent chocolate hits different, and I'm not a huge chocolate fan.
I will send you one over on a boatMy brother and sister in law did Elf on the Shelf for years when their kids were young and they (adults) grew to loathe it.

I think I'd enjoy it for the first few days but then lose motivation. My mum used to write a note in our lunchbox every day for our whole school life. I don't know how she did it.My brother and sister in law did Elf on the Shelf for years when their kids were young and they (adults) grew to loathe it.

You're all such sweethearts! Might buy myself one this year.
Thanks, my lovely.I will send you one over on a boat
Maybe I’ll get a chocolate one for myself.
Can we all get one and do an advent reveal each morning?Thanks, my lovely.
Maybe I’ll get a chocolate one for myself.
When I was younger we used to have a postbox and my mum would put sweets in the drawers (there was a drawer a day)Thanks, my lovely.
Maybe I’ll get a chocolate one for myself.
now I’m a grown up I just have a standard chocolate one. You should definitely get one for yourself!Would it be silly to buy a tambourine? Feel like making some noise.

I’m in my thirties, but my parents still make me one filled with tiny chocolates and little vouchers for fun nonsense on them, like being gifted 50 cents to add, when I fill up my carLast year I got LO one but he lost interest half way Through snd also we forgot to do it like four days In a row so one day He had 4I’ll probably get him one this year again.
my mum has one that you put your own in. She always gets a tub of heroes right put in. Even tho we both moved out years ago she still fills it up snd when we go round she goes here’s ur Advent calendar 🥹🥹🥹
do you get one for yourself
my dad loves coming up with them, still today. So I’m looking forward to that.It just does, and it’s something nice to look forward to and count the days leading up to Christmas.
I’ll make you one!My brother and sister in law did Elf on the Shelf for years when their kids were young and they (adults) grew to loathe it.

That is absolute dedication
Definitely deserved and hopefully the two hours or so it’s on work will be quiet for you
I’m jet lagged anyway, still, so I’ll be watching from the couch at 8am. Funnily enough I can watch the German tv stations on stream online.Rumours on the street that Bae definitely starting tomorrow

Are you streaming the England game? It’ll be broadcast on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and your hotel may have that channel.

My mom just called and we were chatting about when we'll do the annual family Thanksgiving/Black Friday hike (or outing to a museum or historic site) at the end of the week and I reminded her that I am BOOKED AND BUSY Friday afternoon. The remaining convo:
Mom: "So how are you going to watch the game tomorrow?"
Me: ".... um.... on my TV at home?"
Mom: "During your workday? How are you doing that?" [oh, mom, you sweet summer child!]
Me: "Well, I can multitask, plus I don't usually start work til 9-9:30 anyway and I have my calendar blocked from 9-10 for solo project work..."
Mom: "I thought the game was at 2pm."
Me: "Ohh.... [chuckles]... no, I'm watching England at 8am. I only know like 3 US players, I don't follow the team."
Mom: "Hmm... didn't you recently say that you've been reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at all the [REDACTED] board meetings?"
Me: "Shhhh..."
Mom: "Isn't supporting England treason? Or sedition?"
Me: "Pfff, no. I thought you and dad watch the news every day. It's been almost 2 years since January 6th, don't you know the difference? It's neither."
Mom: "Well... anyway, make sure you're getting your work done like you're supposed to."

How does Foden not start, that’s weird. Maybe Southgate is saving him for a bigger match. Only, surprise upsets can and do happen in this stage.My mum buys me sweets to put in a cute advent house

I'd love to do that!
This apartment does have FS1, but I can officially use the German livestreams, and I do quite enjoy the seasoned commentators they have at the ARD/ZDF (public broadcasters in Germany). But thank you for the heads up!Are you streaming the England game? It’ll be broadcast on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and your hotel may have that channel.

That sounds absolutely amazing! I love this.My mum buys me sweets to put in a cute advent house

I love all of your little Christmas traditions so far, they sound lovely. The only thing I don't quite get is the Elf on the Shelf thing...
