The time has come for the girls' elves to go home to the North Pole. The girls were very sad to have them leave. I have a cousin whose little girl loved her elf so much that they decided to let her stay all year long, but her "spirit" just leaves on Christmas Eve so she doesn't do anything until next year. I thought about allowing the girls' elves to stay also, but decided that would lessen the magic of them arriving. My girls are already on a countdown to when they can see their elf again. One of them emailed her elf this morning. So they are gone until Thanksgiving 2009.
I hope the elves enjoyed their visit with us. We sure enjoyed having them. They helped two adults and one teenager remember how much fun it is to be a kid and enjoy the magic of Christmas!
