It’s always a magical day when the Elf on the Shelf arrives! Use this printable Welcome Letter to kick off his stay in your home.

Our Elf on the Shelf, Kevin, always arrives with his snow covered donuts and Advent calendars for the boys. We usually kick off the Elf on the Shelf on December 1st.

The boys look forward to his arrival and it’s always a fun morning when they see that he has come back to our home.

They love to try to guess where he’s going to be hiding and what shenanigans he will be up to this year. I love that we started this tradition in our home. I know it will be a memory that the boys will cherish.

You don’t have to get too crazy with your Elf. In fact, most days, he just hangs out in various locations, like a shelf, in our home.

However, there are sometimes that I do like to plan things out and I consult my handy Elf on the Shelf calendar. This makes hiding our Elf on the Shelf super easy and I don’t have to scramble every night.

If you have an Elf on the Shelf coming this year, kick off the festivities with this free printable Elf on the Shelf Welcome Letter.
