    "description": "<p>The Elf on the Shelf (EotS) has become &ndash; as well as being a best-selling book and toy of the same name &ndash; a cultural phenomenon. As a Christmas tradition, the EotS only dates back to 2005, but has quickly gained hold in homes across the world. For the marketers of EotS, it&rsquo;s also a huge money-spinner, earning millions worldwide. Originally self-published as a book by a retired teacher in 2005, the EotS book now sells with an EotS toy who sits on the shelf and, according to its story, reports back to Santa any &lsquo;naughty or nice&rsquo; behaviour of the resident children. The EotS resides in many homes and schools pre-Christmas, giving parents and teachers leverage in the lead up to Christmas with the ostensible aim of moderating children&rsquo;s behaviour (making them &lsquo;nice&rsquo;). EotS can also be viewed as a more sinister societal surveillance tool, normalising the &lsquo;panopticon&rsquo; and making parents complicit with the concept of omnipresent spying (Foucault, 1979). While &lsquo;magical&rsquo; rather than technological, EotS can nevertheless be seen as normalising and promoting a parentally-endorsed surveillance (and consumer) culture. Simultaneously, the EotS also has become both a chore and a source of fun for parents of Santa believers globally, as parents (mostly mothers) each night change the Elf&rsquo;s location and position.</p>",
