As a dad with a four, three, and two year old, I’m in full support of this.

I don’t remember elf on the shelf as a kid.

The whole concept is creepy and I’m comfortable teaching my kiddos to be good to impress Santa - whose existence is on par with spider-man, superman, etc. - so he’d WANT to give them presents, for being good humans.

But I fully admit i still don’t know what I’m doing 95% of the time as a parent…

EDIT: by “in full support of this” I mean abandoning the practice of elf on the shelf, not bounding and hooding said elf

I’m one of ‘em.

I submitted feedback at the end, and suggest others do as well.

Are there any devil’s advocate arguments in favor or non-harmful benefits of a parental- supervised, version of this, though? Not expecting much.

I’m just as honestly ignorant about this crap as most of the other folks here, but genuinely curious, so I don’t just go with my knee jerk reaction (ban this shit, it’s harmful for society) without considering facts of which I’m unaware.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m getting sovereign citizen vibes
