Questions

What do I say if the elf did not move?

A snow day at the North Pole, a long chat with Santa, or a cozy nap all work. A note in the elf's voice makes it part of the story.

What if my child touched the elf?

Many families say the magic comes back after a night of rest, or with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a kind word. A short note helps.
