The arrival of the Elf at home is a Christmas tradition that originated in the United States and has become popular all over the world. A toy Christmas elf who moves around the house during the Christmas season, keeping watch on behalf of Santa Claus and making sure everyone is behaving.

The idea is that the elf returns to the North Pole each night to report to Santa on how everyone has been doing at home and then returns the next day to a different place. Children love to look for the elf each morning to see where he has been hiding and what mischief he has gotten up to.

It's important to remember that the idea is that the elf is watching and should not be touched, or he will lose his magic. This tradition creates a sense of anticipation and excitement around the holiday season and is a fun way to count down the days until Christmas.
