Elf on the Shelf Names:  50 Ideas for Boys and Girls

The Elf on the Shelf tradition can be seen everywhere online during the holiday season.  From pictures your friends post on Facebook and Instagram to TV movies to gift box sets on the endcaps at Target, there's no escaping the elf!   Some people even have more than ONE elf.   So, it stands to reason that when you get your own elf, you'd want to give him or her a name.

NOVEMBER = THANKSGIVING

Why not make it a practice to express gratitude daily, not just on Thanksgiving?  What we focus on expands.  It's so easy to see all the negativity in the world, especially online. Is anyone interested in joining me for a daily gratitude photo challenge?  If we focus on the little things that we are grateful for, our whole world changes.
