The Elf on The Shelf clutter-busting game

---

So I had this little festive idea. How about turning The Elf on The Shelf into a big-hearted clutter buster?
 
Here's how: As these little buggers invade homes across the country, they find one item a day to donate to charity. It’s about time they were productive members of society, don't you think?
 
Introducing ... The Get the Elf-ing Out of Here Basket
Kids will enjoy seeing what their nocturnal nomad selects for the donation basket or box. After the holidays, you can donate the whole kit and caboodle to a local charity. Or even more magical, leave the basket out with the stockings. See where I am going with this ... Santa himself can pick it up to make sure it gets donated. I checked with him. He's onboard. 
 
Don’t have kids or a weird little elf doll, you say?
 
You can still adopt this daily holiday donation idea. Fun, right? If you want to pretend there’s a sly elf involved, hey, the more merry on you.
 
What I like about this game:
 

• It sets a giving example for little ones. It’s about sharing with others items that you no longer need or use.
• It helps eliminate clutter at a time of year most of us tend to accumulate more stuff. Too much stuff.
• It’s a pretty low daily investment, but the results build over time.

In case you haven't noticed, "do easy things" is a recurring theme here at Rock Your Chores. 

As Mr. Christmas says, "Keep it simple, sweetheart." (He has no idea what this elf-shelf business is all about, and he's good with that.)
