Have you done it? How old were your kids when you started doing it?

We love it!!! Last year was our first year. My youngest was 3 and oldest was 6. They both loved it and couldn't wait to see where he was when they woke up. This year my oldest is so excited still for "E" ( our elfs name) to come back this year!

Yes. Ours comes out the day after Thanksgiving. I started it three years ago, so DS1 was 5, DS2 was 2 and the LO wasn't born yet.

We're going to start doing it this year. My kids are 3 and 19 months. I told my 3 year old he is going to report back to santa if he is a good boy. I'm also going to make the elf "help" out around the house by putting him next to a pile of clean laundry, etc...
