High on his perch in a house full of cheer,
The Elf on the Shelf watched the scene disappear.
“No cookies, no lights, no toys on display,
I’ll find a new gig for this holiday!” 🎅

He hopped off his shelf and set off with a leap,
Wound up in a stable, surprising the sheep. 🐑
The shepherds looked puzzled; the Wise Men just stared,
At the tiny red troublemaker nobody spared.

“Who are you?” asked Mary, with Joseph in tow,
The Elf struck a pose, saying, “Didn’t you know?
I’m here to bring fun, spread magic and glee,
But this… this is different—what could it be?” 🎁

The baby lay quietly, asleep in the hay,
The Elf tried to join Him, in his mischievous way.
He posed near the manger, climbed up on the ox,
Then fell with a tumble, knocked over the box! 🪵

The gold rolled away; frankincense hit the dirt,
The Wise Men groaned loudly, “This Elf needs dessert!”
But Baby Jesus smiled, His gaze soft and kind,
The Elf felt a tug deep down in his mind. 🙏

“This isn’t about the tricks or the toys,
It’s a story of love for all girls and boys!
The Savior is here, the greatest of gifts,
No need for my antics, just hearts He uplifts.” ✨

The Elf took his hat off, a tear in his eye,
He’d learned the true meaning ‘neath Bethlehem’s sky.
And though he returned to his spot on the shelf,
He shared the Good News with each little elf. ❤️

So next time you see him, perched high on the tree,
Remember his journey, and what came to be.
For Christmas is more than the gifts and the show—
It’s the birth of our Savior, the King we all know. 🌟
