We started The Elf on The Shelf tradition this year. I read the kid the book under the tree and in the book it says that once you give him a name you can't touch him. So they each cradled him and kissed him before we gave him his name. We stuck him in the tree and named him "buddy" and then the kids started talking to him and telling him their wishes.
The tooth fairy and Buddy sometimes get lazy/forgotten. But it has been fun finding new places and the kids like looking for him and when they act up, I remind them that he is watching, but that is starting to lose it's effectiveness.
