Sing with me: 12 Days of Eli


We have had Eli (our elf on the shelf) about six years now and each every year, we try not to repeat the same acts of mischief any more then we need to so, last night, as I was thinking of adventures Eli to embark on, I was struck with inspiration. Eli wrote for us a song, each voice reminiscing about something he has done, although the numbers are not exactly accurate. I hope you enjoy his work of art. I sure enjoyed helping him with it!
