Such a fun idea to place near the Christmas tree (or in your kid’s playroom!). And the blackboard can even be used to write a different message each day - maybe each member of the family can choose one per day of the week? Sounds like a great plan to get everyone involved!

What about a naughty elf that’s stealing the syrup? It’s a really fun and creative idea to make on Christmas morning! Even more so if everyone wakes up together and enjoy the whole day together - this will be a nice kick start!

This cute elf that’s competing with the dog’s adorableness...but I’m sure the dog loves it either way! I’d say there’s space for both of them, but the joke is worth the laugh - so take the chance and prepare your own!
