NOW we’re finally in December, it means one thing – the Elf on the Shelf is back at it with his naughty little pranks.
One mum caught her daughter’s reaction to his first act on camera – but unfortunately, things didn’t quite go to plan.

In a recent video, the mum films her daughter walking in on their Elf on the Shelf, which they’ve named Eddie, running his own hair salon.
But the little girl wasn’t impressed by the new look he’d given her Barbie doll.
“Eddie the elf may have gone a step too far.”
During the 24-second video, Charlene films her daughter walking into the living room to see the first prank of the month.
She shouts: “What are you doing to my Barbie?”
As Charlene walks closer, you can see the blonde Barbie doll and Eddie the elf sitting in front of a mirror, with a sign that reads, ‘ Eddie’s Christmas Offers! £5 Cut + Blowdry’.
The little girl then bursts into tears when she realises the naughty elf has cut her Barbie doll’s hair.
Fans loved the reaction, with the video gaining more than 9,000 likes and 143,000 views.
In the comments, other parents shared their reactions, with one writing: “That was mean. DO IT AGAIN.”

Another said: “Bet it was an old barbie she hasn’t played with for months but now it’s suddenly her favourite. Bless her tho.”
A third added: “Supposed to be making memories, not trauma…..”
Someone else commented: “I laughed way too much.”
In a later video, Charlene reassures her followers that the little girl is no longer upset, and is seen laughing while playing with the elf.
She wrote: “She’s over it now.”
