Who is this elf?

I keep hearing about this 'Elf on the shelf'.

I had heard of it and thought it was a movie or something, but after being bugged by this little elf who keeps popping up all over the place I decided to do some light 'Googling' to find out more about the little blighter.

The following is from: http://www.elfontheshelf.com

The Elf on the Shelf®: A Christmas Tradition includes a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts a scout elf and gives it a name, the scout elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to tell Santa Claus about all of the day's adventures. Each morning, the scout elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the fun. Children love to wake up and race around the house looking for their scout elf each morning.

There are two simple rules that every child knows when it comes to having a scout elf. First, a scout elf cannot be touched; Christmas magic is very fragile and if a scout elf is touched it may lose that magic and be unable to fly back to the North Pole. Second, a scout elf cannot speak or move while anyone in the house is awake! A scout elf's job is to watch and listen.

Scout elves typically appear in their families’ homes at the beginning of the holiday season. On Christmas Eve, the scout elves return to the North Pole with Santa Claus—until next year!

I have decided to do my own version as the actual Elf on the shelf freaks me out and I don't want to pay the ridiculous price of £29.95 on Tesco.com for the little creature. He looks too good for his own good, and too creepy to be sitting on a shelf.

Meet my version 'Nutty on the nob' (yes, I need to work on the name and tag line). 

He will magically appear in various places in the house everyday (preferably hanging from a nob, though I have noted that the elf is not always sat on a shelf, so I am guessing it is a flexible tagline.) Today he is not on a nob but on a handle as there are not very many nobs in this house. 

Look out for Nutty throughout the month, I have a feeling it will be an exciting month for him.
