(humm…I think sugar was used in this case); Our elves love crackers…..we found my pantry door open…they had climbed in and gotten a sleeve of crackers out and proceeded to tear into them and eat!! Do I have to tell you how long it took me to get all those crumbs up!!! Crackers were everywhere! I'm sure there are more I am forgetting…our Elves have been around for awhile….my boys are now 14 and 11….they really never get tired of them." A BirminghamMom from Mountain Brook has a pair of elves who "replaced the stockings from the mantle with a pair of ‘drawers’ (underwear) for each of us and left a note that said ‘Stockingz for Drawerz --- Drawerz for Stockingz’. They then put the stockings in our underwear drawers, even mine, and were found sitting next to the boys' stocking hangers." Wow, these elves are bold! They're even tampering with the grown-ups' stuff. One mom gives a first hand account of elf follies at her house:

BirminghamMom Amanda offers, "The best elf antic I've heard of (ours hasn't thought of it yet) was my niece's elf filled her backpack full of toilet paper and she didn't find it until she got to school. Great for a 10 year old!" Anna, a BirminghamMom of two boys, shares a few of elf Hermey's tricks: Staying up all night watching DVDS (he was found sitting in front of the portable DVD player with Christmas movies spread around him); sneaking into the playroom to play Hungry, Hungry Hippo with the other stuffed animals; and crawling into a napper for an impromptu sleepover.
