elf on a shelf

i found this item on the ida claire site this am, until now i had no idea about the "elf on a shelf" tradition, but i think it's quite an original idea. below is how the site described it.
"Start a new family tradition this Christmas with "The Elf on the Shelf" - this adorable gift set includes a hard-cover children's book with beautiful illustrations and a cute little elf. Here's how it works: The story tells how Santa assigns an elf to a family to report back to him each night about who's been naughty and who's been nice. Each morning, he has "magically" moved to another spot in the house to spy on the children. Kids will love to wake up and find the elf - it's best to place him in a spot that's out of reach, since children are not allow to touch him (which would cause him to lose his magic)- but the are allowed to talk to him!"
