“One of our good customers has been stock piling a load of parts purchased from us in anticipation of the holiday season, when he would have the time to perform the complete build. Unbeknownst to him, he’s had some help in ordering parts from Elf on the Shelf, who will also be along for the installation. Follow along for the next 25 days to see what kind of mischief the little Elf causes during the build. We will be posting daily with new trouble created by the little guy…STAY TUNED!”
