Turn on the Christmas songs and get decorating, the holidays are around the corner!
A judge in Georgia issued an executive order to ban the Elf on the Shelf from his county, but it turns out he was just joking around, UPI reports.
If you are not aware, Elf on the Shelf is a small toy that, according to Huffington Post, is a special scout sent to your home from the North Pole to encourage children to behave themselves.
Cobb County Judge Robert Leonard
Tired of living in Elf on the Shelf tyranny? Not looking forward to the Elf forgetting to move and causing your kids emotional distress? I am a public servant and will take the heat for you. My gift to tired parents.
P.S. - If you love your elf, keep your elf. No contempts. pic.twitter.com/JcqAOljbAS
"Inexplicably, Elves sometimes move and don't move overnight. When these Elves do not move, it leaves our children of tender years in states of extreme emotional distress," Leonard said in a tweet.
Leonard also added that his executive order was a "gift to tired parents,” and that if families happen to love their elves, they can keep them.
