We have a visitor! About a week and a half ago, a little visitor showed up above our kitchen cabinets. A tiny little man with a red vest and hat. He has cute little green boots and a little bell atop his head! We have been having a hard time keeping track of our little visitor. He seems to enjoy hopping about the house spying to see the going ons of Franco Manor!
Kyra has started up a pen pal relationship with this Jolly little guy and we have found out several things about him:
*His name is Jingles
*He comes during the day but magically zips on up to the North Pole at night.
*He gives Santa a daily report on how the kiddos are behaving at home and if their rooms are clean.
*He knows what the kiddos want for Christmas and is reporting that to Santa!
*He is keeping mom sane throughout this time of year!
My kiddos have been so excited that there has been a little visitor at our home that they have been doing everything that they possibly can to be good. Bed time is no problem whatsoever anymore. Although their rooms are not clean….they are on their way.
This has been a fun new tradition that we are certainly going to hang on to. It has been magical for my kids to look for Jingles and try to find out what his next move is going to be. And, as for the peace, my kids refuse to disobey or argue if Jingles is around. I think that that is making it a Merry Christmas for me!

What a fantastic idea!!! I’m stealing it, okay…BORROWING it for the long haul;)
That is THE cutest idea. I think I totally need a Mr Jingles in the inventory.
I found a great elf at Taipan Trading and I think he is going to be showing up soon. Kara made an elf last year at school and it all of a sudden started moving all over the house in different spots so he could get a good look and listen.
