"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I knew there was a reason I never liked Elk On the Shelf...
P.S. This is your invitation to post wholly inappropriate Elk on the Shelf pictures. Bonus points to see how long it takes before it gets moved to the Ring.

Further to this, The Elf on the Shelf website offers teacher resources, integrating into both home and school not only the brand but also tacit acceptance of being monitored and always being on one's best behavior — without question. [CCPA]
"You're teaching [children] a bigger lesson, which is that it's OK for other people to spy on you and you're not entitled to privacy," she summarized.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus

Same argument that makes the Western Anglo-Saxon mind vulnerable to various interrogation techniques; Jesus/Yaway/God as you know him is watching you and sees everything you do. P.S. - God as you know him is taking notes and will review your record when the time comes for you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven or be banished to Hell for your heinous crimes. "We know you did wrong, now you have to bare your soul and tell the truth or bad things will happen to you and the people you care about..."
So little Timmy, come sit on Santa's lap and tell me all about what a good boy you have been all year long...

Ahhh, you've never experienced the exquisite pain of dealing with Elf on a Shelf I see...
www.elfontheshelf.com/content/christmas-tradition
Each night you're supposed to move this damn thing so it looks like it left the house to report to Santa how well the kids behaved, then came back and perched in a new spot by the time they wake up. It's sadistic torture for parents to have to remember to move it. We gave up after one miserable year and now merely enjoy the pictures of people making Elf on the Shelf do naughty things. And boy are people creative and hilarious!

"The whole family will enjoy this Christmas tradition." My ass they will.The Elf on the Shelf®: A Christmas Tradition is a cleverly rhymed children’s book explaining the story of Santa’s scout elves, who are sent to be Santa’s eyes and ears at children’s homes around the world! Adopt your own scout elf and learn the tale of Santa’s finest helpers. The whole family will enjoy this Christmas tradition.
The Elf on the Shelf®: A Christmas Tradition includes a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts a scout elf and gives it a name, the scout elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to tell Santa Claus about all of the day's adventures. Each morning, the scout elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the fun. Children love to wake up and race around the house looking for their scout elf each morning.

What a horrible self-inflicted chore! For those of us afflicted with CRS it would all but impossible!
