It's that time of year again when the decorations come out of the attic, the Nativity Scene is proudly displayed by the front door for our visitors to see, the tree burdened with tons of ornaments and lights, the mantle filled with lots of little Santas...and of course, the arrival of the ELF (or troll if you look carefully)! Our elf's name is Billy Joe Mistletoe and he hails from the Isle of Green-Ireland of course! Where else do elves come from? The North Pole, you say? Yeah, typically, but last year our boys were late in their request to Santa for an elf and unfortunatley all the North Pole Elves were spoken-for, happily causing mischief in homes around the world. So Santa, in all his glory and with his desire to leave no child disappointed, sent us one of his "Special" elves from Ireland...Billy Joe Mistletoe! Well, he was so happy with us last year that Santa honored Turner and Clay's request and sent Billy Joe back for another season of wild elf trickery and fun at our house! He arrived sitting in the kitchen up on top of the cabinets as you can see in the picture...but he brought a good educational message this year-READ! I am not sure what that's all about but I guess only time will tell. The boys are ecstatic to say the least about his arrival. I honestly think the like the Elf more than Santa! Well, they sure do talk about him more, anyway. As I type this, Billy Joe is snug in is his comfy make-shift "elf bed" in the boys' bedroom. Wonder what tricks ol'Billy Joe has up his green sleeves this year? Or should I say in his wild green hair?

I love Billy Joe! Tonight our elf is making his first appearance at our house. I will have to post a picture of ours. He is handmade by my Aunt Donna & myself. Gee- I haven't thought of a name. This is our first year to have an elf. Is there other stuff I need to know about all this elf stuff???
