Don't touch it, as much as it is tempting, just don't. For those of you who don't know what TEOTS is, The Elf on the Shelf is a toy that looks after your kids, and if they touch him, he tells Santa that the kids been naughty! Oh, and if you're a parent, you record Elf on the Shelf, and see if your kids have touched him, so it's not real! Your time is the time you lasted.
