The Elves of Christmas 2022 Celebrate the Holidays

 

The Christmas season is here! The plush and soft-bodied little elves have been waiting all year to come out and help decorate the tree. 

From left to right we have two plush Elf on the Shelf dolls, a Dollar Tree elf, plush Mariah Carey “All I Want for Christmas,” a generic Walmart Elf, and two dolls sold on EBay as Elf on the Shelf that I suspect might be knock offs. 

I still dressed the possible knockoff girl elf in an authentic Elf on the Shelf outfit so she matches the plush Elf on the Shelf doll. 

The Legend of the Elf

The elf legend seems to have come from Norse mythology which mentions the “hidden folk.” This Norse character combined with other Scandinavian and Celtic legends about elves, wee folk and other mythical creatures became today’s elf.

L-R lower: Walmart elf, Target elf, different Walmart elf.
L-R upper: unknown elf, Elf on the Shelf girl (possible fake), Elvie from Kroger. 


If all you want for Christmas is an elf doll, check Walmart, Michael’s, Dollar Tree, Kroger, Target, and eBay for an assortment of styles. This display was up at Walmart this week
