Elf on the Shelf, Season 2024 - Episode 3

Last week our elves got themselves in trouble when they borrowed Barbie's convertible, had Mariah Carey convince Colin he needed a haircut and made him guess songs based on groceries they brought. What will they be up to this week?

December 13 is Taylor Swift's birthday, and of course Cookie and Biscuit are also fans of hers. That's why they have made friendship bracelets to wish her a happy birthday. 

Quote by a Forest Ranger at Yosemite National Park on why it is so hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it: “There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.”

 

I feel like the same is true for toys’ child-proof battery compartments!!! So Cookie and Biscuit are keeping their fingers crossed for Colin who has to present a history project today. 

Game Day / Road Trip! Colin and the boys are playing in Ascona, Ticino, tonight. It’s an outdoor ice rink in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, and it brings back such fond memories. Here’s hoping for a fun and successful replay of those wonderful times!

A while ago I saw a meme on how to annoy Italians 🤪 Our elves thought it was time to get to it. Give it up for pineapple 🍍 kiwi 🥝 pizza 🍕!
It may not be for everyone but I liked it 🤩 No hard feelings, my dear Italian friends ❤️

One morning the elves sent a text saying

"Good Morning Colin, for «Musical Monday» we put together some Christmas songs for you to decipher…"

A special Wordle kept our elves guessing on Tuesday!

Another riddle on Wednesday! Can figure out the correct order based on the hidden connection?

1. Monday: "Tell me why I don't like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats
2. Tuesday: "Ruby Tuesday" by The Rolling Stones
3. Wednesday: "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M." by Simon & Garfunkel
4. Thursday: "Thursday" by The Pet Shop Boys
5. Friday: "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure
6. Saturday: "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" by Elton John
7. Sunday: "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2

We're a week away from Christmas, I can't believe how fast December has been progressing!

Keep your eyes open for episode 4 next week.
