| Stewie's Christmas card to Amber's kids. |
Stewie, being an Elf on the Shelf, has a whole book to explain his genesis upon arrival to one's home. As it has been told to me, each Elf arrives at each home in his own manner. Last year, right before Christmastime, the family was sitting down eating what could only be described as an out-of-this-world home cooked meal by Mommy. We heard a knock on our front door. When answered, we discovered only a gift bag with no note attached. Inside, it turned out, was said Elf. We sat down in surprise and read the origin-book he had with him, and discovered we needed to name him for him to become part of our family. He was to watch over us and report back to Santa each night. The children-- stoked as shit.
