An Elf's Story: The Elf on the Shelf is a special that serves as nothing more than a nearly 27 minute commercial for the Elf on the Shelf, a series of elf dolls that are used by parents to keep their kids from being naughty. Here, a new scout elf chooses to go to family with a boy Santa wants him to help, as he does not believe in Christmas anymore. Given the name Chippy, the elf tries to help the boy get back in the spirit of Christmas.
The special is horrible and serves as nothing more than a commercial for the Elf On The Shelf dolls and book. When the Scout Elves are sent out, they are packed in a box that comes with a book similar to the ones the product comes in (as if the special keeps screaming out that it's serving as nothing more than a half hour advertisement for a stupid elf doll meant to spy on kids for Santa). Also, the boy, Taylor, sounds like one who deserves his place on the naughty list, as he wants to call Chippy horrible names like Stinkypants, and only changing after his sisters tattle on him for touching Chippy (because of the belief that touching the elf causes him or her to lose his or her magic, which is lame as the elf is just a doll). I recommend avoiding this commercial in favor of specials with better morals and not selling something.
