It's finally December and the festive season is almost upon us.

A well-loved tradition of elf on the shelf has made its return as the elves will come alive during the night and either cause mischief or will do something good.

The elves also watch children throughout December to make sure that they are well behaved before reporting back to Santa.

We asked you to send us some of your pictures of your elves this morning and you did not disappoint.

Here are some of our favourites:
