A parody of The elf on the shelf.

"In this for-parent's-eyes-only parody of Carol Aebersold's children's picture book Christmas classic "The Elf on the Shelf," readers laugh along with Horace as he goes AWOL from his Christmas duties. This photo-story set to verse is the unauthorized (and hilarious) tale of one disgruntled little helper with a gift for making mischief. "As a member of Santa's spy squad, I headed down south for the holidays to help the big guy decide who's naughty and who's nice. It was going to be a wonderful change of pace from the hammering, sanding, painting, and wrapping happening in Ol' St. Nick's workshop. Or so I thought."--Horace the Elf. Horace has been a professional elf for more than 250 years. Before being sent out to spy on and judge small children, he worked the assembly line in Santa's Workshop. He currently lives in his mother's basement in the North Pole, though he's hoping that with the residuals from this story he can finally buy a place of his own. Brendan O'Neill is editor of Spiked, an online magazine"--Provided by publisher.
