How to set it up
On the morning of the 24th, elf sitting by the tree with the letter: it says thank you, mentions 2 real moments of the child's year and promises to come back.
The frame with the photo becomes the keepsake that stays all year.
At night, the elf “leaves” - the letter explains that only Santa can touch the elf at the farewell, settling the no-touching rule with affection.
