WHAT on earth were those cheeky Christmas elves up to last year?

Most got up to mischief the moment they arrived in Ipswich.

Having an elf who visits from December 1st to Christmas Day, has become a fun and popular tradition.

An elf is allocated to each child, it travels from the North Pole and spends the next few weeks getting up to mischief.

It also watches behaviour and reports back to Santa.

Better be nice rather than naughty!

This year the Moreton Border News has been given lots of new toys by Spin Master to give away.

Spin Master are our partner in the Dob in your Elf competition.

Hatchimals Alive Rainbow Splash is a toy that brings the cuteness of a pet to homes without the responsibility of cleaning up after it.

There’s also Monster Jam Super Charger Speedway sets and one where cars race through a scorpion themed track.

What about the Soggy Doggy Refresh set or the family fun-tastic game Headbanz?

Spin Master also stock fabulous stocking fillers like Rubix Cubes, Elf Etch a Sketch and Paw Patrol character packs.

The Elf on the Shelf is one of the most photographed and shared images through social media during the festive season.

What we need are photos of something your elf got up to that made you laugh.

This is last year’s elf, this year’s cohort are still in the North Pole but we know you’ve saved photos (Santa told us).

First place is a $150 toy bundle, second is a $75 toy bundle and third is a $40 toy bundle.

For your chance to win, send us a photograph of your elf doing something awesome.

Don’t forget to include your name, your elf’s name, suburb and best contact number (in case you win a prize).
