IMAGINATIVE parents have been sharing festive inspiration for the return of Christmas elves.
The phenomenon sees the elves arrive from December 1 to keep an eye on your children before flying back to the North Pole each night to report to Santa on how well behaved they have been.
Somehow the elves end up in a different pose and place each night for the kids to discover the next morning.
Earlier today, Tuesday, we asked you to send in some of your pictures and these were among our favourites.
