The 'tradition' began in 2005 with a children's book, and since that time, there have been snitches in some places during the time of year just before Christmas. On the shelf, over the door, under the bed, and who-knows-where else these spies are (or were) hiding. NOBODY LIKES A SNITCH!!
I found some of the remains of an elf, and placed him here, a fitting spot I think. A dead end for this little guy. NOBODY LIKES A SNITCH!!
Parking can be super easy most of the time, but during a certain season, there may be a LOT of traffic here.
From Wikipedia: The Elf has received some criticism from cultural reviewers. Professor Laura Pinto suggests that it conditions kids to accept the surveillance state and that it communicates to children that "it's okay for other people to spy on you, and you're not entitled to privacy." She argues that "if you grow up thinking it's cool for the elves to watch me and report back to Santa, well, then it's cool for the NSA to watch me and report back to the government ... The rule of play is that kids get to interact with a doll or video game or what have you, but not so with the Elf on the Shelf: The rule is that you don't touch the elf. Think about the message that sends."
