If there’s one thing this holiday season that will be the death of moms everywhere, it’s that dang Elf on the Shelf (trademark)! Sure, they’re cute, are bendy, and look adorable in a Christmas getup — but boy do you feel like the Grinch, should you forget to arrange your little buddy the night before.

Hey, it happens.

Thankfully, there’s still time to get in on the action. Check out these darling examples.
