Sweet Holiday Traditions

Meet "Nogg", our Elf on the Shelf


I have a few sweet projects coming up next week to share, but until then, I thought it wouldn't be out of line to show you what we've been up to here. 

In our home we have joined in the Elf on the Shelf tradition.  There are mixed feelings about this little guy, and I've seen some rather, well, crude interpretations of the Elf getting into lots of trouble at others homes.  Our elf, however, follows the original intention of Scouting for Santa.  He's creative and fun, but he doesn't get into trouble.  Since that's what we're trying to avoid!

Today, our elf named "Nogg" surprised our little one with a Candy Farmer's Market!  Apparently the North Pole Candy Farmer's Association had a great harvest this year, and allowed Nogg to share the bounty when he returned last night.

Having fun with sweets at this holiday time of year doesn't always mean getting your hands covered in flour...it can also be simple and whimsical!

Quiz question for those readers out there who are shy about comments:  From the movie, Elf  with Will Farrell, what were Buddy's four major food groups?

If you need a hint, they are all shown in Nogg's market stand today in the photo above.
