Anybody have any favorite Elf on the shelf ideas?

So I'm an ER nurse and we had an idea of a moral booster the other night, a variation of Elf on a Shelf, Drunk in a Bunk.

Staff loved it, management was not amused.

My work screen saver

I hid ours on the blades of the ceiling fan one time - took the kids a long time to find him.

In the fridge/freezer.
deep inside the christmas tree.
riding the dog.

I had my sons fishing from the fish tank.

Roasting marshmallows over the gas stove

I have filled the sink and had him floating in a Tupperware bowl

Rappelling down the cabinets

crashed his GI JOE plane into the tree

digging into bowls of candy

playing poker

popping out of cabinets, from behind pictures, etc

Sleeping in the dog's bed.

stuffed into the cookie/candy jar

Hookers and blow.

This is NEVER the wrong answer.

My exwife started doing that with the kids sometime ago. It didn't last long.
My daughter came home from school, saw it, fashioned a noose and hung the elf above the dining room table. My exwife blames me.

Someone at work is doing it. The elf got put in my mailbox so I bagged it in an evidence bag and tossed it above the cabinets.

Saw this one a while back and thought it was pretty funny. Would be awesome (but probably not popular with the kids) if the deer were Reindeer.

I saw a pretty good one the other day. The elf's face was covered by a "Saw" doll mask. The elf was sitting on a toilet paper roller but instead of toilet paper, there was duct tape and a Sign saying "let's play a game".

from the ceiling above his pillow.

for when he wakes up in the morning

This took me hours, to find all the lego, heads, bodies, legs, weapons etc.

The kids freaked out.

My wife has informed me that I cannot let my dark humor out during EOS season.


She did not appreciate the boy asking "Is the Elf dead Papa"

"No, he is not dead, we woke up before the sour patch kids could light the fire"

In the elf's defense he did put up an epic fight, there were 10-15 sour patch kids impaled on toothpicks littering the living room floor.

My favorite one my wife did this year was running thin white rope from the boys room, down the stairs and then to Spiderman suspended in air with one Web tying him to the wall, and the other had the elf completely wrapped in spider Web hanging upside down from the stairs banister. Wish I had a picture to show, be better than that description.
