Selective Focus: The Elf on the Shelf

The Christmas-themed Elf on the Shelf doll is the protagonist character of a 2005 children’s book with the same name. Since its emergence to mainstream popularity, the decorative figurine has inspired parody photographs in which the Elf is staged in a wide range of holiday scenes causing chaos, or referenced in memes.

Below are some elves spotted and submitted by Duluthians, as well as some local art inspired by this internet trend.

“I made an elf on the shelf stamp right before the election … then afterward all I wanted to do was torture him! Poor guy,” Annmarie Genuisz said.
