I contend that if you hold a belief, you will act on it nearly every time.
In the next two weeks, my family will begin our annual tradition of “The Elf on the Shelf.” Our Elf, named “Ellie,” is a small Elf that hides each night behind objects, on top of cabinets, hanging from light fixtures, and in other places where she can watch what goes on in the house. Each night she returns to the North Pole, reports the good and bad behavior to Santa, and returns to a new spot in the house. (more…)
