Comment from Marilyn Hamilton

Excellent

An excellent entry for the Christmas Story contest. As usual you write the most heartwarming stories when they are about children. I love the Elf on a Shelf and how the offer the chance for parents to add a little magic to their children's Christmas. You did a great job putting Tinsel in the story. Loved it

Thanks, Marilyn. Children melt my heart and I want them all to be happy. We had a great time with the Elf on the Shelf. Camryn loved it. Thanks as always.

Excellent

This is a delightful Christmas story. Good luck with the contest. I hope I can come up with enough Christmas spirit to write a Christmas story. Your story should be in a child's Christmas story book. I enjoyed it.

Thanks, Beth. Maybe someday I will put together a book of the stories. Eleanor owns my time at the moment. LOL Thanks so much.

Carol,

What an awesome Christmas story. It appears Tinsel is a little on the naughty side. I wonder if mom is going to believe the children that Tinsel did it. I think not.

Great job my friend and good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much. Sweetie. Been trying to get settled and write at the same time. Did get the tree up yesterday but only lights...Tonight is Matthew's premiere so I guess everything else waits till tomorrow.

Carol,

You're welcome. Some things take priority and Matthew's premiere would trump anything else.

I'm sure a lot of people will love this Carol, the magic of Christmas is a wonderful thing to see in this world, more that Jesus came to live among us, show us that Christmas is every day, and that He gave hope to a world without hope, beautifully written my friend, good luck, blessings Roy

Thanks Barbara. I am so far behind on everything but I saw your review pop up as I was leaving the lap top and thought I'd say thank you. Busy day today...packing to come home, finishing wrapping Christmas presents, Cam's basketball game and Keyanna's birthday. It's been a wonderful time and I hate to leave them. This was Cam's Elf On The Shelf today so I thought I would share it,
Smiles, Carol
