Brittany Mease is an Army veteran and a mom who just wants the best for her lovely kids. But there’s one thing that really gets on Mease’s nerves: that damn Elf on the Shelf. She said, “Y’all know I can’t stand doing Elf on the Shelf but I suck it up every year and do it to see those precious smiles on my beautiful children’s faces.”
So Mease tried to do things a little differently this year…with hilarious and unexpected results. Mease explained on Facebook:
