Get An Elf’s Story on DVD over at Amazon for only $9.95! It’s based on the bestselling book, “The Elf on the Shelf,” and might help explain what your elf does to your little one 😉
Nine year old Taylor McTuttle has reached a crossroads. Does he believe Santa Claus really knows who is naughty or nice? Does he even believe in Santa Claus anymore? An Elf’s Story is the inspirational tale of Chippey, the enthusiastic young scout elf who is assigned by Santa to restore Taylor’s belief in Christmas magic. When Taylor breaks the number one Elf on the Shelf rule and touches Chippey in a boyish act of defiance, the elf loses his Christmas magic, the entire McTuttle family loses its scout elf and both Taylor and Chippey lose their self-respect. Through the power of love and forgiveness, both of them learn that true belief cannot be taught. A family holiday classic for generations to come, An Elf’s Story is filled with fun, music and the timeless message that Christmas is something we carry in our hearts.
Create a sled for your elf using a candy bar and candy canes!
