WREXHAM and Flintshire children may have had a special little visitor arrive this month to cause mischief!

Every year on December 1, households across the country are visited by cheeky elves, who ‘spy’ on your children and report their behaviour, both good and bad, back to Santa in the run-up to Christmas.

The popular Elf on the Shelf character has become a Christmas tradition for many families for the past few years.

As the 24 December days can seem to drag on, the elves may need a little bit of inspiration from their North Pole colleagues for some new nightly antics to get up to if ideas start to run a little slow.

We asked YOU to share what your elves have been getting up to in the first few days they have come back to your house.

Dozens got in touch to share their elf’s arrival and recent mischief.

A lot of elves had to follow Government guidelines and isolate on arrival – meaning they’ll have only a few days to be naughty in your house – but some got stuck straight into their usual fun and games.

From defacing family pictures to swinging off the fixtures, there are dozens of photos in our picture gallery that you could tell your elf about if they are stuck for ideas…
