Wow, I imagine it must be rather lonely sometimes to have your husband away, but maybe a little nice to have some alone time as well.
Haha I have a similar elf in my house, only mine steal scissors. Seriously, I have purchased loads of scissors, and yet I can ever only find one pair, if that. :/
That is a strange item for the elf to take. I hope he is not hiding them somewhere under the pillow so that you won't hurt yourself :)
Im sure they are all in my kids' room somewhere.... :/
