With less than two weeks until Christmas, most of us are scrambling to finish shopping for loved ones. The holidays are a particularly magical time for young children, and it takes a hundred elves' worth of energy and cheer to make it so.

It's hard enough to stealthily wrap all the presents with sneaky little ones around. Adding the Elf on the Shelf craze to your holiday tradition means thinking about the clever, strategic placement of your behavioral Christmas spy every night for the whole month.

But some imaginative elf owners have managed to make their own fun out of the children's toy, making it just as enjoyable for adults. It's safe to say some of these elves are definitely naughtier than others.

An extra present for all the creative parents.
