Elf On The Shelf is a fun way for parents to get their children in the spirit for Christmas with cheeky pranks for the naughty Elf, but one mum has been slammed for taking it a "step too far".

The magic Elf, who will usually does something naughty each night for children to wake up and find, is a tradition found in many households each year, but it can be tricky for parents to come up with fun and inventive ways each morning.

However, one mum, named Shannon Renee, shared a photo online of an elaborate and sinister Elf prank, but others are worried it's a step it too far for the Elf.

The parent took the festive fun to a very, very dark place according to other mums on Facebook, as she shared a snap of a little red hat, like the one the Elf wears, on top of a pile of suspected chicken bones in the shape of a body.

Beside the bones, a knife and fork have been placed on the plate, which also has some grease smeared on it, making it look like someone has just polished off the poor little Elf for dinner and left the just bones.

Shannon captioned the post: "Someone please do this and record the kids when they find it." Thankfully, she hasn't actually played the cruel prank on children - but it seems someone still could give it a go, judging by the reaction in the comments, but others think it would give children "nightmares".

Her post went viral in 2019, with many thinking it was a hilarious idea for parents to try. One person even branded Shannon a "hero" for suggesting it online. "I'm dying laughing," wrote one person, while another said: "I'm gonna get one just to do this."

A third added: "I'll do it in the morning. GOOD ONE." However, not everyone was impressed with others thinking she'd taken the joke a bit too far. "You are mean, that would scar the kids for life," replied someone else. "Poor Elf! Don't let the kids see that," commented a fifth. A different user said it would give children "nightmares".
