🎄✨ Our family’s lead-up to Christmas just got a little more magical this year! ✨🎄

I had so much fun creating these printable Elf letters, and I can't wait to share them with you. They’re editable, so you can personalize each letter to make it feel like your elf is speaking directly to your kids! 😍

It’s such a simple way to add a little extra holiday magic each morning (or whenever your elf decides to "check in" 😜).

We're a half-Greek household in Scotland, so the inspiration for this comes from the Greek folktales of naughty goblins visiting every Christmas for 12 days and wreaking havoc in the house! (Because I love cultural mashups we're still going to call them elves in our home). They leave silly notes, the reel you into fun activities, or they can even drop gentle reminders to stay on the nice list. 🎁🎄

These letters have been a huge hit with my nieces and nephews and it's my own toddlers' turn to wake up to them! 🎅

When I first designed these little envelope templates I wasn't a mum yet. This will be the first Christmas my daughter will wake up to this tiny mail addressed to her 😁Do you have elves in your home at Christmas? According to the Greek tradition, we have naughty Christmas goblins moving in for 12 days and wreaking havoc. In our house we will call them elves though, I think. I quite like folklore mashups 🎅
