## Description

I honestly did believe this shelf gig was going to be great. 'Get out and see the world,' they said. 'Experience the joy of wide-eyed kids, holiday cheer, and the Christmas spirit,' they promised. 'Finally leave your parents' basement for once in two hundred and sixty-seven years,' they told me. I was sold. And off I went. As a member of Santa's spy squad, I headed down south for the holidays to help the big guy decide who's naughty and who's nice. It was going to be a wonderful change of pace from the screwing, hammering, sanding, painting, and wrapping happening in Ol' St. Nick's workshop. Or so I thought . . . ~Horace the Elf In this for-parent's-eyes-only parody of the popular holiday title, The Elf on the Shelf , readers laugh along with Horace as he goes AWOL from his Christmas duties. This photo-story set to verse is the unauthorized (and hilarious) tale of one disgruntled little helper with a gift for making mischief.

Review: Holidays, the other side of the story. - I thought this was a humorous take on the Elf On The Shelf. And yes, this book is for the older crowd and not for young readers. Maybe more suited for teens and adults.
Review: Bad...no kids allowed - So we are big elf on the shelf fanatics. My daughter was on desertcart and came across this book. Not even thinking to read the reviews, which I was sorry for after, I bought it thinking it would be a great addition to our elves on he shelf. Of course my nine year old opened and read it before I even set eyes on it. Horribly disappointed that desertcart even put this on sight without a big flashing warning sign "for adults only". This book is basically an adult version of elf on the shelf. All content is for adults(sexual innuendos, drinking,etc....). Great book to give adults a laugh,but horrific for kids. Not recommended for children... Only recommended for adults

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adults only
*by B***4 on November 4, 2013*

Filled with funny antics for the adult who wants the lighter side of the elf magic. Provides a number of "naughty" antics of the green elf off the shelf. Make sure not to have it around those that have the original Elf on the Shelf story, as it will ruin the holiday magic for the little ones. Not for children
