Merry Elf Haus!

Merry Elf Haus was imagined in 2021 in an effort to take nightly pressure off the elaborate elf activities. With the help of elf magic and a forever-love of miniatures, a tiny haus appeared.

Each morning the kids inspected (without touching, of course!) for evidence of elf life. We spotted tools for toy making, a whisk for baking and messages from the North Pole. Some days we saw our elf, others we did not. On those quiet days, the elf must have been home just inside the door, resting from a busy night.

Luckily for me, the mess left yet the magic remained. It became clear that the magic of the elf was less about the elaborate set-up and nightly mischief but more about an elf’s simple presence in our home.

Our elf haus has led to so many fun memories for our family. My hope is that Merry Elf Haus will help bring more magic (and less stress!) to your holiday traditions too.

Make it magic,
