Going Big This Holiday

Throwback Thursday Confessional:

I’ll admit it - I take Elf on the Shelf way over the top. Some parents keep it simple. Nope. Not my style. I treat this thing like a full-scale holiday Operations initiative. Logistics planning. Creative direction. Risk assessment (because confectionary sugar “snow” gets everywhere). Daily deployment schedules. Contingency plans for when I hear footsteps.

I mean - why place an elf on a shelf when you can stage a full-blown scene worthy of a Pixar storyboard?

The best part? My daughter thinks it’s magic. Which is the whole point.

Leadership lesson hidden in all the glitter and holiday chaos - if you’re going to do something, go big! Make it memorable. Go all in. Have fun with it. And create moments people will talk about long after the season is over.

Now if you'll excuse me - I need to figure out what Pretty Pretty Christmas and Snickers will do next.
