He sees you when you're sleeping...

December has arrived but while you were shopping online for tacky Christmas jumpers and gifts for your Nan, someone sinister just moved into your home and he's not leaving until he says so. You know him... that little creepy fella with no feet and the most terrifying side eye in the history of side eye. The Elf On The Shelf is back and this year, he wants to kill you. Here's all the proof you need: 


Reason Number 1: He'll stop at nothing to make sure he's the only festive decoration that matters.

Reason Number 2: Seriously. RIP Marshmallow Snowmen.

Reason Number 3: He sees you when you're sleeping, and he'll make sure you'll never wake.
