Elf Names

I don’t know about you, but Elf on the Shelf is huge in my house and is always such a fun Christmas tradition! The first thing we do together as a family is name our elf.

We like to print out the list of elf names and then each family member circles their favorite. From there, we all decide on what the final name will be. The perfect fun and fair way to name your elf!
