All of these Elf on the Shelf names are great, but you’ll need to choose the one that fits your Elf the best. If you’re having trouble picking a name, maybe let the elf tell your kids his/her name. Simply give them three options and tell them to guess his/her name. The first option they choose will be the right one.  How did they know his/her name? Was it Christmas magic? We think so. The naming process will only be the beginning of the fun.

There’s plenty of ways to enhance the holiday magic for your family.
