Inspired by Jack Handy, Dr. Seuss, Spinal Tap, and Miguel de Cervantes, ELF OFF is the poetic journey of one crazed parent’s dream to take matters into their own hands and put an end to a family holiday tradition that has gone on for far too long. Declaring one morning, “ELF OFF to the elf-moving; ELF OFF to the lying; ELF OFF to Santa’s elf-network of elf-spying. Stay off of my family. Lay off of my crew. I am offing this elf if it’s the last thing I do.”ELF OFF is more than an hilarious satire on the frustration and absurdity of moving an elf each night, it’s a manifesto for all parents frustrated by the anxiety of laying in bed between Thanksgiving and Christmas with the realization that your elf has not moved off his shelf for several days. This book is not suitable for young children but makes a fantastic gift for parents beaten down by their daily holiday battles with their scout elves.
