A sweet, free printable Elf on the Shelf goodbye letter that reminds your kids to be good all year.

Dear ___________________,

Well here we are, it’s really been fun,
But as you know, I’ve got to run,
When Santa arrives, I’ll be a little sad,
But I will also remember all of the fun that we had.

So remember what I said, about being kind all year long,
I know that you will, don’t let me be wrong!
Help your parents and do your chores,
(I’m sure they would love if you mopped the floors!)

We will meet again next year when Christmas comes to town,
So don’t be sad, turn that frown upside down,
Love each and every day, be thankful for all,
And while I’m gone, don’t grow too tall!

Love your elf,

    My Elf on the Shelf arrived on 01/01/2021. This year will be our first year with Elf. I am very happy to see this on Pinterest. I had no clue on how to work with her. Thank you for giving me good ideas on how to do it. I am looking forward to more ideas. Can’t wait to put Elf to work December 2021!
