“Elf Dynasty” – This bearded Elf is “Happy Happy Happy”.  With beards all the rage right now, you could do this in a number of different ways.  He could also have a razor nearby instead of a mug.

This elf is having fun making copies of himself with the printer.  Make sure you have some of the paper printouts nearby.  If your printer is in an out-of-the way place in the home, leave a few copies as “evidence” as to where he is laying around the kitchen or family room to clue in the kids.
