Elf on the Shelf is an adorable family tradition where the cheeky elves find themselves performing different levels of mischevious acts - but one woman was branded as "insane" after she made her elves pull off a huge prank, involving her car.
Each day, parents who participate in the tradition will ensure that their elves are doing something funny, or sweet, that their kids will really appreciate. But naturally, the more years that elapse, the harder it gets to think of new innovative ideas, and parents may find themselves really going above and beyond to please their children in the build-up to December 25.
Claire, who posts on TikTok as @elves_unicorn_sparkle, captioned the short clip: "The car has been elfified! Thanks elves now the neighbours think I'm insane." In the 28-second clip, she showed her car on the drive of her home, covered in white paint stating that the "elves rule." She'd even placed a balloon garland on top of the car, as well as drawn snowmen, and I love elves on the vehicle too.
She said: "The elves have decided to decorate the car. Yep, I can't drive the car on the school run tomorrow because I won't be able to see, so we're going to have to walk, and it's frosty - thanks elves! They've used spray and sprayed graffiti all over my car, and they've added a balloon garland on the top just to make it truly noticeable. Thanks elves, the neighbours think I'm insane now."
In the comments, other mums praised her, with one writing: "Omg. It's brilliant but you defo cray cray", and another said: "Love how dedicated you are to elf on the shelf me on the other hand not so much." The mum even admitted to people that she "told the lads at the car wash some kids did it", rather than confessing to her committedness.

Others labelled it as "amazing", saying that the elves were really "creative" and Claire said when she went outside in the morning with her kids, she began "dramatically shouting" at the elves, which her children also loved.
