Santa's Lazy Gnome
Santa's Lazy Gnome | Julie DeForest

Santa's Lazy GnomeTM The Stree-Free alternative to the Elf. Bring home the most welcome holiday guest, Santa's Lazy Gnome. Written by Julie DeForest, Illustrated by Andrew Laitinen Our Santa's Lazy GnomeTM tradition started a few years ago. Life was busy with 3 little ones, holiday stress and no time for late-night mischief. Our oldest asked for his elf, but life was hectic and we were already sleep-deprived. We had to remind ourselves that Christmas could be magical and fun without added stress. We hope your family enjoys Santa's Lazy Gnome as much as we have! Adorable and easy to maintain. No hide & seek or silly games to keep this Santa helper around. Santa sent The Lazy Gnome to help with the Naughty/Nice list. These mysterious friends report to Santa if you're naughty or nice, even when you're out of sight.

Sorry this is not book-related, but I had to share a pic of my gnome. 😊❤️💚 A group of my BFFs have gotten together for a Christmas party, ornament swap and crafts for the past 9 years. Obviously we had to miss this 10th one, but we drew names online for a porch drop ornament swap and had a Zoom craft meeting. 😊 So great to re-connect, catch up and make a little happy gnome to fondly recall our time together. 💕💕

robinb @Booknerd2 I thought so too! I‘m not even a very good crafter, and I did OK on this one. 😂 3y

LeahBergen Oh, this sounds amazing! I‘m so glad you all got to get together (even virtually). 🥰 3y
robinb @Crazeedi @LeahBergen It started out as a one-time event, but we all had such a good time (we play Christmas music, everyone brings homemade snacks) that we decided we‘d miss it terribly if we didn‘t do it again...and again...and again. Guess that‘s how traditions are born. 😉😊 3y

We are not Elf on the Shelf people. The idea of having an Elf just stressed me out. I didn‘t think my kids even had any interest....until my daughter started wanting one a few weeks ago. This is our compromise- Santa‘s Lazy Gnome. He still watches and reports to Santa, but he is lazy—-so he never moves. 😁😁 My kids love it. Available on Etsy. 😊
