Oh La La...oops! I mean Fa LaLaLaLa...

I just couldn't leave, you, my few readers, in knots trying to figure out who Sir Jingles Bells was going to choose. But in true Bachelor fashion he had to have some one on one time with each prospect.  Tonight was the lovely, sensational, fiery fishy girl we all know and love...Ariel!! 

 It looks as though he took her for a romantic horse back ride through the hallway, over the stained carpet, and finally settled in for some cozy time on the couch.  Annnnnnnd judging by the picture my secret elf camera captured Sir Jingles Bells got a little fresh time in with our favorite lady fish.  (GASP! right?!)  

Now being the fan of Sir Jingles Bells that I am, I am going with a more innocent take on this situation.  I feel that he is very fond of Ariel and is a little embarrassed by her lack of clothing and he's trying to shield her girly parts.  I mean really, he's from the North Pole surely he has more manners then to get lucky on their first official date.  But if I'm wrong then my hat tips to you Sir, my hat tips to you!

Oh, The Drama!!!

There's a lot of people out there who elf haters and I get that.  The thing does look a little spooky at times but the fun out weighs the weirdness so a big Christmas poo on the haters!  Anywho, when Sir (I added that part because I like it) Jingles Bells isn't scooting off to the North Pole to tattle tale he hangs out on out Christmas tree.  He flies there when no one is looking and perches near the top so he can observe all the happenings in our household.  


This freaked Bug out! 


 Last night I was seriously about to combust from holding in my laughter!  We had finished her homework and judging by the smells coming from my sweet little angel I knew she was destined for the bathroom.  She admitted it and started slowly walking towards the office (which is where the tree is) and stopped at the door and came running back.  She was terrified to go through the office alone.  So I did what any good Mommy would do, I made her :)  She ran so fast, slammed the bathroom door and repeated the running when she was done with her business.  Do you have any idea how hard it was to keep a straight face while calming her down?!?!  


Anyway, for pictorial references this is how our Sir Jingles Bells looks when he's perched and minding his own business:

and this is how Bug sees him:

On another note, Sir Jingles Bells turns out to be quite the ladies man!  Second night here and he's already up wining and dining the fiery red headed half dressed Ariel and the ever conservative Rapunzel.  I won't talk about the noises I heard (let's just say things really do go bump in the night).  It's like we have our very own episode of the bachelor going on here and I just can't wait to see who he decides to ride off into the sunset with.  They both have their faults-Ariel, well she's a fish of sorts and Rapunzel has all that dang hair!  But here they all are getting to know one another and enjoying a spot of tea:

The Day The Elf came ALIVE!

Mr. Jingles Bell adventure started by "magically" showing up as a gift from nowhere on our front porch when we got home yesterday evening.  It was getting pretty dark at this time so Bug just about didn't see it.

Being she was blind to it all, I had to bring it up.  The conversation went something like this:

Me "what's that on the porch"

Bug "I don't know"

Me "Well get out and go get it"

Bug "no, I'm scared"

Me "just go get it"

She gets out of the car.  She gets the bag and screams

"IT'S A CHRISTMAS TREE!!!"

Me "ummmm I don't think that's what it is"

Bug "yes mom, it's a Christmas tree.  I know it's a Christmas tree"

Me "lets look at it closer in the house"

We take the box in and start examining just what this mysterious package is.  Ahhhh! It has a nice hard back instruction manual, how nice of Santa to include this!  We begin reading the book to which she pays absolutely no attention to.  It strictly prohibits touching of the elf or he loses his power to fly to the North Pole and report to Santa just how good of a girl she has been.  So what does Bug do? She tries to touch him!  So the elf on the shelf quickly became the elf in a box on the refrigerator.  But we quickly fill out his new name: Jingles Bells

Bed time FINALLY comes (I'm single parenting it this week, so this felt like it took eternity to arrive)!  The silly little Jingles Bells finds his way out of his box on the refrigerator and flies to the North Pole to do his first night of reporting.  He must have gotten back a little late because he kept his tricks pretty simple.  He stole Bug's Etch-A-Sketch to leave her a little message for in the morning.

I can't wait to see what kind of mischief Mr. Jingles Bells gets into tonight!
