How to set it up

  1. On the morning of the 24th or 25th, set the table with the elf's place: little plate, heart cookie and the hug coupon in the mug.

  2. Elf in its place with the short see-you-soon letter - different from the long letter in idea 30, this one is for the table, for breakfast.

  3. Coupon text: “One goodbye hug - good for today only. Love, your elf. See you next Christmas!” The goodbye hug is the exception to the no-touching rule, explained in the letter.

Elf note — on the coupon

One goodbye hug - good for today only. Love, your elf. See you next Christmas!

Copy it onto a small coupon and leave it next to the scene.
