Elf on the Shelf...OR...

Merrick on the Mantel. My daughter is taking a short 4 day vacation on Sunday, so Merrick and I will be spending some time together. She didn't need to, but she wanted to treat me to lunch.

We went to one of those steakhouses where they bring you a sizzling stone, and an uncooked steak, so you cook the steak just how you like it. It was delicious.

I took a picture of Merrick on the porch, and a picture of their fireplace mantel, and "shopped" them together.
