5 Thoughts You've Had About Your Elf On The Shelf
Daily News Lifestyle

It’s that time of year to shout and holler with Christmas cheer. To keep the kids well behaved throughout the chilly month of December, parents can request some assistance from Santa. The Elf on the Shelf explains that the elves get their magic once the kids name them. They then play a fun game of hiding in a new spot each morning around the house and the kids play an ongoing game of hide and go seek.

This game can be fun but these thoughts will come to mind as you spot your elf on the shelf.


HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

This tricky little Elf gets into the craziest places to hide. There are some days where you hide so well, I can’t even find you? How do you do these things magical Elf?


YOU ARE THE SWEETEST ELF ON THE PLANET.

From making my lunch, to offering candy and treats, and the occasional coffee making for mom and hot chocolate for my brothers and sisters in the morning. You are the sweetest Elf around.


OMG ELF YOU ARE SOOOOOO FUNNY.

Little Elf, you are so silly. You play with all of our toys when we aren't looking and sometimes we find you brushing your teeth with a Q-tip! There are mornings when we find you and we laugh the whole day about your silly spots.


Okay, Elf.. you're getting a little creepy with your spying.

I love you Elf I really do, but there are days where you kind of freak me out. I don't always find you creepy but sometimes you have your days where you make me feel a little weird. Let's stick to you playing with my toys and having marshmallow wars with my sisters barbies.


Ugh Elf, you're so cute, if you wouldn't lose your magic from my touch, I'd pick you up and squeeze you.

You bring my family and siblings so much joy, I hope you come back each and every year. I know you'll leave the day of Christmas, but I look forward to every December 1st for you to re-appear. I'd give you a big hug if you wouldn't lose your magic.


Our house will be a little boring for the next 11 months. So we just wanted to thank you for always coming up with fun ways to surprise us and keep us on our toes. Until next December Elf, have a great time back at the North Pole with Santa and your family.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
