Free Printable Elf on the Shelf Goodbye Poem
Another year is ending, it’s time for me to fly
tonight I’ll leave with Santa, I guess this means goodbye.
Please don’t be upset at this news or scream, fight, or cry.
For I’ll be resting from our fun until next July.
I know Christmas will return again in the blink of an eye,
So remember the rules of being good and don’t tell a lie.
Next time we see each other, you’ll be a little taller
I don’t grow at all you see, but to you I might seem smaller.
I’ll still watch over all you do, and make my notes all year
as time goes by real quickly, I’ll soon reappear.
Even though you can’t see me, and we are spending time apart
always keep the spirit of Christmas alive inside your heart.
You’ll have loads of new adventures from school in September,
then bike races, swimming lessons, and wow it’ll again be December.
Listen to your parents, and make sure you do your best
to be kind and generous, and always be nice…and well, you know the rest.
I’ve had so much fun again this year, I was really over the moon
I can’t wait to come back and play again with you real soon!
Love from your favorite elf,
Short Elf on the Shelf Goodbye Poem
Today’s my last day, so I must say goodbye.
Tonight I will go to the North Pole, where I will fly.
But Santa will be here with gifts and cheer,
and I’ll be back for you next year.
So be good kids and take care of yourself,
Remember the fun times with your favorite elf.
