Shhhh, let's just go with creepy. Then, I won't have to tell my kids when they're older the REAL reason mom didn't do the elf thing.....it's too much trouble and I would forget most nights. I can see it now: scrambling around in the early am, franticly searching for a spot to place it, decorating the scene while trying to sip coffee, and trying desperately to not spill coffee on myself or the newly staged scene.
