Elf arrival poem

1. Type the names. The letter updates as you type.
2. Pick the version: first visit, welcome back, running late, two elves, a classroom and more.
3. Print it, or save the PDF and print it at work or the library.
4. Roll it up, tie it with ribbon or baker's twine, and leave it next to your elf on the first morning.

Print on cream or kraft paper if you have it. For a tiny elf-sized letter, print at 50% and trim. Most families bring the elf out between the day after Thanksgiving and December 1.

Dear Emma,

I flew through the snow and the cold winter air,
to sit on your shelf, or your lamp, or your chair.

My name is Jingle. I'm an elf, as you see.
From now until Christmas, you're stuck here with me!

Each night I fly north to tell Santa your day.
Each morning I'm back in a new place to stay.

Please look but don't touch, that's the one thing I ask.
Keeping my magic is my biggest task.

Now let's have some fun. There is so much to do.
I can't wait to spend this December with you!

Your rhyming friend, Jingle
