I love the idea of sneaking it in the mailbox and telling the kids you “forgot” to check the mail that day & send them out to get it! Or even if you come in with the “mail” and let them know a package has arrived! They will be so thrilled and will think the Santa Crew is super clever and have some pretty good leads with the post office 😉

I put the Elf in a flat rate envelope and cut out a hole for his face to peek out. Printed the shipping label on cardstock paper & cut it out. Added the shipping label to it and used packing tape to go over it to make it look totally legit. You can use any large envelope or even a box to do this with the shipping label. We had this extra envelope laying around the house. You can always repurpose ones you’ve received in the mail as well.
