Orland Park Residents Put A Festive Spin On Elf On A Shelf

ORLAND PARK, IL – When Patch asked Orland Park residents to show us their best Elf On The Shelf displays at home with Christmas right around the corner, they certainly didn't disappoint.

With elves banging out Christmas carols on the piano to whipping up some sweet treats in the kitchen, the holidays brought out of the creativity and festive nature of the season among those who contributed to showing off their own takes on where Santa's little helpers like to hang out around the house.

Here's a sampling of where Orland Park elves are spending their time around the holidays.

Matthew McCarthy writes:

"Our elf has been writing scrolls of music for our daughter to figure out. She is delighted when she hears a familiar tune. Pictured here is, we wish you a merry Christmas, happy birthday, and Jingle Bells."

Brianna Langston's elf is making sure that Santa gets the message about what is happening in the kitchen:

Jess Barclay's elves are hoping for a White Christmas and snowman building weather although the forecast suggests it's just not going to happen.
