Meet Fernando, The Cook Christmas Elf

This is Fernando. Tonight, being December 1st, the kids all put a little fairy dust/elf dust/glitter on their hands and on the count of 3 blew it into Fernando's face. Through the magic of Christmas the glitter will allow Fernando to awaken every night from now until Christmas to do something either naughty or nice in our home. He won't wake up until we are all fast asleep and if it gets too late he gets tired of waiting and the likelihood of "something naughty" increases.
Some nights he will leave wonderful little treats or rewards for our family to wake up to. Other nights we may wake up to something not so nice.
Fernando also has relatives that work with Santa in the North Pole and he keeps in close contact about the Christmas spirit in our home and whether or not we deserve a visit on Christmas Eve. We look forward to waking up tomorrow morning to see what Fernando has done with his first night of freedom...We'll keep you posted.
