The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is a 2005 children’s book written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, and illustrated by Coë Steinwart. It’s a Christmas-themed story explaining how Santa Claus knows who’s being good and who’s being bad.
The elf from the story has more recently been manufactured as a toy that watches over children in the lead-up to Christmas, buy diovan 320 without prescription checking their behaviour (naughty/nice).
