The elf has a few things he'd like to say.
1. That even if there are a lot of snowmen in this house right now, there's a pretty fair number of elves, too.
2. All of them are on a tree that is part of a little Christmas tree display on the landing of the stairs.
3. There are photos of the little Christmas tree display coming later today. (Perhaps much later today. It depends how the to-do list goes.)
4. No elves were injured yesterday when the dog decided to stand on the landing and wag his large tail very vigorously, causing the elf tree to tumble partially down the stairs. They're calling it a Christmas miracle. Expect an announcement soon regarding movie rights.
5. Speaking of announcements, the winner of the Blue Christmas/vintage Christmas decorations giveaway is Sharrie! Congratulations!
Thanks to all of you who left a comment. It was great to hear from all of you, especially those of you who were leaving a comment for the first time.
Oh the tales a dogs tail could tell....We used to have the most loving golden retrievers when we were first married years ago. Their tails would swipe everything clear. From coffee tables to toddlers with bottles. Their innocence so pure they would bark at themselves. Christmas miracles we prevented at our home by fishing line and eye hooks. Don't laugh we still find fishing line in the trees! Smiles...Renee

Oh my goodness, thankfully there were no elf casualties. I look forward to seeing the entire display.

Several of my ornaments have suffered final fates this decorating season. Glad yours didn't!! Can't wait to see the display!

No injuries? That is a miracle considering those elves are 'snack size.'
As an adult looking back, I now shudder to think how many vintage ornaments were broken during my childhood cat's holiday tradition of While-You-Were-Out-I-Climbed-The-Tree.

I would have started to worry if I'd seen a little red cross on an elf's hat!

So glad that Elf Resources will not have to be called and no Canine "Hair-ess-ment" suit will have to be filed!

Good luck on selling the movie rights! Production may take a while but I will be looking for this mega-hit to hit the theaters in the Christmas future.
And...Merry Christmas to me! I VERY excited to have won your fabulous giveaway. Thank you very much!

B - you may want to take out Elf Medical Insurance just in case - you never know what future accident they may get into (and they sure look darn cute).... J
