How to set it up

  1. In the last week (from the 18th on), jar in the living room with the cards beside it and the elf holding the first one, already with a memory of its own.

  2. Each day the family writes a memory and puts it in the jar; the elf brings a new card each night.

  3. Card: “Before I go, let's save our favorite moments. I started - your turn tonight.” The jar comes back with the elf the following year.

Elf note

Before I go, let's save our favorite moments. I started - your turn tonight.

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