Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for December 03, 2023

Elf on the shelf can’t be much of a tradition. I’ve only recently heard of them. I doubt they’ve been around for more than 10 to 20 years.

Good. Smash the surveillance state.

But there’s still Alexa.

The whole thing has been a conspiracy. All this time they have conditioned us to live in a police state. He knows.

An aunt of mine “gave” one of those to us many years ago. The girls thought it was creepy. One night a cat found it and knocked it down and in the morning I found bits and pieces of it all over their bedroom. The girls seemed happy about it so I never told my aunt in fear of getting a replacement. They are creepy and the premise behind it is abusive.

Watch Studio C’s “Elf on the Shelf Gone Wrong”, which runs on the same line of thought.
