Tinkle has been spotted!!!

It's December 1st and Tinkle is back! For those of you new this Christmas...Tinkle is an elf sent by Santa to watch over us. He flies back each night to report whether we have been naughty OR nice. Then flies back and hides in a new place! It is fun to find him in the morning.

There are a couple of rules to follow:

1. We can never touch him because it takes away his magic and he would not be able to travel back to Santa.
2. He is not allowed to talk to us but we can tell him anything....he is a very good listener...we can even tell him a message for Santa...he hears EVERYTHING.

Last year was the first year Santa sent Tinkle to us! We even got to name him and we wrote a poem about him:

Tinkle Tinkle little elf

Sitting high up on a shelf

Up above my head so high…

Like a diamond in the sky

In the dark blue sky you leap,

For a promise you must keep

You fly to Santa in the night

To tell him if we’ve been alright

As you travel back to me

I know not where you’ll be…

Until I search and see…

You looking at ME!
