Have you ever wondered how Santa could know if you're naughty or nice each year as you grow? For hundreds of years it has been a big secret. It now can be shared if you promise to keep it. At holiday time, the day after thanksgiving, each year Santa will send Ziggy the elf to the Brosseau household. He will watch and report all that Philip does. His job's an assignment from Santa himself. Ziggy is his helper, a friendly scout elf. Each night while Philip's sleeping to Santa he'll fly to the North Pole right through the dark sky. Of course Christmas magic helps him to be quick. He laughs with his friends and reports to Saint Nick. He tells if Philip has been good or been bad. The news of the day makes Santa happy or sad. A push or a shove he'll report to "the Boss," but small acts of kindness will not be a loss. In the car, at the park or even at school the word will get out if Philip breaks a rule. Ziggy will be back at our home before we awake, and then we must find the new spot he will take. We'll jump out of bed and go running to see: who'll be the first to spy little old Ziggy? Maybe the kitchen, in a shoe, or den is where you will find him, our special elf friend. He can hide in the tree, on a shelf or a frame. Where will he be? Let's make it a game. Ziggy can't speak to kids, so says Santa Claus. All of the elves have to follow his laws. He'll listen to kids... so tell him your wishes. The gleam in his eye and bright little smile shows you he's listening and noting your file. The final decision with Santa will then rests. What do you think? Will you get your request? The night before Christmas, his job's at an end. The rest of the year with Santa he'll spend. Of course Ziggy will miss us, but wait 'til next year. When the holidays come again, he'll reappear.
Ziggy the Elf... where will he be in the morning?
Is he visiting baby Jesus?...
Or is he maybe playing in the tree?... Do you see him Philip?
Still no Ziggy... is he maybe under the tree?
Nope... not in or under the tree... where the heck is that silly elf?
Oh I think I see him... is Ziggy playing in your stocking?
Yeah... there he is! Now tomorrow we will have to find him yet again... and the fun continues. :o)

So cute!! We have "Clifford" the Elf (Named by Alli, of course) at our house. Alli LOVES finding him each morning, and she is careful to remind all of us not to touch him or his magic will disappear. Let me tell you ~ it works! All we have to do is say "Clifford is watching" and it is amazing how quickly she shapes up. So glad yall are starting this sweet Christmas tradition, too!!
