At first glance he may look like your average elf: probably from a small town, nice parents, good education.
2.

5.
It all started when a couple of Barbies denied Elf on the Shelf's Christmas offering.
6.
The rejection stung and the once jolly Christmas elf was left with nothing but a deep, unguided anger.
7.
He became reclusive — spending most of his time alone, drinking and chain-smoking, wondering about his real purpose on Earth.
8.
It wasn't long before his behavior began to spiral out of control.
9.
Every night was a new blackout, a new horror.
10.
Things he once loved turned into things he hated.
11.
Run-ins with the law were frequent occurences.
12.
He became a different person entirely.
13.
It was all really just a desperate cry for help.
14.

15.
Friendships were severed.
17.
Grandmothers were corrupted.

20.
And hide yo' husband.
21.
Because no one is safe as long as this guy's on a shelf.
