Elf On The Shelf Didn’t Move? Here’s What To Do!

We’ve all been there – the elf on the shelf didn’t move and you NEED an explanation…. now! Here are some perfectly plausible reasons why the elf didn’t move. Use sparingly!

Jokes on you! Elf DID move and decided to return to the same spot. Bet you didn’t expect that!!

Elf got so exhausted flying back and forth to Santa for a few days that he needed a day off.

It was snowing so much that she couldn’t fly that night, Santa’s orders!

Elf ate all the candy and got into a SUGAR COMA!

Elf saw the dog/cat walking around and got scared that she might be eaten. He’s scared stiff!

Elf couldn’t move because kids kept getting out of bed at night. Stay in bed tonight so he can move!

Elf didn’t move because she got stuck watching all the Christmas specials on TV.

Elf didn’t want to fly back without being able to tell Santa some good things you did, so do more good things today so he can move tonight!

Elf realized how good he can see you from here so he decided to stay in the same spot twice!

There were so many elves flying around outside last night that elf didn’t want to get caught in traffic out in the cold.

Oh, he must have forgotten that he’s already been in that spot. Elves are tricksters bu they’re not very smart!

All elves like to find their favorite spot – Looks like she found hers!

Somebody accidentally touched him, so he can’t move until his buddy comes by tonight with a bottle of Elf Magic Restorative Potion. Here’s what to do if your Elf On The Shelf is Touched.
