Did you wake up at 5am this morning remembering that you still hadn't moved your elf? Or are you one of those organised parents who has a spreadsheet of ideas ready for every day?
We're calling on all M.E.N. readers to help each other out with Elf on the Shelf by sharing their best photos of Jimmy, Holly, Buster and all the other mischievous visitors making overnight trouble in your homes.
Hopefully this will make your lives easier, bring joy to your kids and give us all a good laugh as we launch into one of the busiest times of the year.
Whether you are a consummate planner or you prefer to wing it by grabbing whatever props are to hand, we'd love to see your ideas - and pinch a few for ourselves.
To take part, simply submit your entry using the form below before midnight on December 18. Then between December 19 to 23, we'll be inviting everyone to vote for their favourite. The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve, just in time for them to brag about having Greater Manchester's best Elf on the Shelf idea on social media and in their class Whatsapp group.
We have to manually check every entry before approving it to make sure they are in line with our competition rules, so please bear with us if your photo doesn't immediately show in the gallery below. Please note, we are unable to approve images containing children.
