In a rather amusing yet concerning holiday incident, a 7-year-old girl named Mia Thompson from New Jersey found herself in a bit of a pickle when she accidentally touched her Elf on the Shelf and thought she had ruined Christmas. This little girl dialed 911 in a frenzy, fearing the worst.

While playing with a ball, Mia accidentally knocked over her elf and immediately panicked, believing she had jeopardized the festive season. In a recording of her frantic call, she can be heard pleading, “Don’t come to my house! Don’t come to my house!” Her mother, Sarah, woke up from a nap to find Mia distressed and trying to usher a police officer out of their home. Sarah described her daughter as “hysterically crying,” worried she’d get in trouble. Fortunately, the officers were kind and reassured Mia that everything was alright, even humorously reporting back to their station that “Mia touched the Elf on the Shelf, and she’s going to be fine.”

This incident raises a question: Is the Elf on the Shelf tradition truly as charming as some claim? For many families, it might be a stress-inducing endeavor rather than a delightful holiday experience. As a parent myself, I’ve experienced the anxiety it brings. This year, my own daughter has had her moments of panic over our elf, “Sparkle,” worrying about what she might report to Santa. It’s hard to believe that we’ve introduced a character that can cause such fear, making the holiday feel more like a pressure cooker than a season of joy.

The Elf on the Shelf might be a festive idea for some, but many parents are starting to feel that it might be time to reconsider this tradition. After all, stressing kids out isn’t what the holidays should be about. Perhaps it’s time for a little elf intervention.
