## Questions & Answers

**Q: My Elf on the Shelf keeps telling me to burn the house down. Is this normal?**
A: Your elf is defective, and he needs to be rehomed immediately. Not only will burning your house down land you on the "naughty" list, Santa will have nowhere to bring your presents.

**Q: My elf keeps watching me use the bathroom. Help?**
A: Try closing the door.  I'm guessing that your family is also getting a bit tired of watching.

**Q: how do you take him out of the box with out him losing his magic**
A: he doesn't lose his magic when you take him out of the box. That's when the magic begins!!

**Q: My Elf likes the Redskins.  Is this normal?**
A: There has to be one elf in the world that would like the redskins
