The Naughty Elves

I get sick of those adults who try to justify their actions and say they don't impact on kids. It is proven over and over that kids learn lifetime habits and behaviour from parents and they need to be taught kindness, manners, not to swear, drink, smoke, to be unselfish, loving. Anyone who doubts that just look at bad adults and the life they had. (I do realise that some kids with great parents sometimes go bad, usually peer pressure).

To anyone reading this go to YouTube and search: children see, children do.

I thought id just point out that there's two elf types out there. There is an adult version which If defo not kid friendly he comes with a book of adult appropriate naughty tricks and he's wearing a black Xmas outfit. He is more expensive than the origional kid version which may be why people just use the origional? Defo not for kids tho my elf doesn't do coke but he has burried his head in a bowl of sugar

It's not something we do - or ever have. I find it all a bit daft and gimmicky to be honest. That said, my lad's youth club went out yesterday with a bundle of these elves and had the best time. They did lots of tasks - riding the elves on the escalators, asking security guards for directions to the North Pole etc etc. Thankfully all the staff were nice to them (I do wonder if the Youth Club leaders prewarned them!) The adult ones I don't find funny - not my sense of humour and like you say, doesn't give out the best of messages!!!
