There was once a little girl named Emily who was 

secretly naughty but everyone thought she was nice. 

When Santa was watching Emily he saw her clean up 

her brothers mess then break something and blame it 

on her dog! Santa was very confused and wasn't sure 

what to do so he went to talk to his elves. "Hello buddy." 

Santa said "I have a big problem." Buddy the elf was 

very worried. "What is the matter Santa?" Buddy Asked. 

Santa then explained everything. "I have the perfect 

idea!" Said buddy, then they headed off to the magic 

making room in the workshop. "Why are we here?" 

Asked Santa.

"I want to shrink myself and make boxes"

"Ho Ho Ho! You silly elf!"

"You'll see what I mean" Said Buddy and that's when 

the elf on the shelf started...

Buddy came out with a box and a small elf in it. "We 

well ship elves to kids homes to watch them without 

moving at all to see how good they are being and when 

everyone is asleep the elf well un-freeze and hide in a 

different spot so when the kids wake up in the morning 

they get to go find their elf. On Christmas eve all the 

elves well fly home and help the others prepare for 

next Christmas!" Said Buddy to Santa. "Very good 

idea." Said santa "But, if the children touch them my 

magic well disappear." Buddy did not look as worried 

as Santa thought he would be, and he was glad. "I well 

go get to work then" Said Buddy joyfully then he 

walked away.

Weeks have passed since half of the elves left to check 

who's naughty and who's nice and Santa was getting a 

lot more information for his list. He added lots of kids to 

the nice list but there are still a lot of people on the 

naughty list. "Oh No No!" Said Santa disappointed. "I 

wish the children would get nicer." He walked over to his 

child gazing ball and saw Emily sitting on her couch 

watching the movie "Elf". "That reminds me. I need to 

check what facts Emma, Emily's elf found" Santa 

thought while sipping on a mug of hot chocolate. He 

walked over to his "Elf communicator 2000" and started 

talking to Emma. Sadly the proof showed that Emily was 

on the naughty list. Santa was very sad. He never 

thought she was that bad.

"Hello dear, any luck with the list?" Asked Mrs. Claus. 

"Thanks for asking but there is a big problem, Emily 

switched to the naughty list..." Replied Santa. Mrs. 

Claus was shocked. "Emily!? I didn't know she was that 

bad." There was a moment of silence until one of the 

elves marched inside the room. "Santa! Emma just 

called Emi-" He stopped when they saw the smoke 

coming from the oven where cookies were being 

cooked. Mrs. Claus ran over and put it out with her 

oven gloves. Santa needs a plan to get Emily on the 

nice list but it is going to be hard.

"Mom! Look where the elf is hiding this morning!" 

Emily said happily pointing to Emma. "She has a 

letter in her hand, I wonder what it says!" The letter 

said:
