I didn't know about elf on the shelf until 

fairly recently and I just have a few questions:

 1) Who came up with this?

 2) Why is it still so popular?

3) Am I the only one that thinks this little doll 

with super long limbs is incredibly creepy?

If I saw this little guy hiding anywhere in my home, 

it would scare the Christmas spirit right out of me. 

Just look at those shifty eyes.
