Christmas elves: What has your elf been up to?

It's Christmas! Which means the elves are back and they've been creating fun and mayhem in homes across the country.

We love to know how much trouble they've been causing - so let us know in the comments what your elf's best trick has been!

Whether they've been hanging off the shelf, hiding in the cupboard or snoozing in the dog's basket!

You can send us your elf pics, too! If you're struggling for inspiration then have a look at these from last year.

To send us pictures of our elves, email newsround@bbc.co.uk, external

Remember we want pictures of just elves and we need your name but there's also some other things to bear in mind before you send stuff to us.

Boring but important!

Remember to get your parent or guardian's permission before you send us anything!

We may show your video and pictures on our website or in our TV bulletins.

We'll show your first name and which town you're from - but we won't use your details for anything else.

Junipers Class 4 from Peterborough sent us this one - it's their class elf. They told us he was messing around on his unicorn at the weekend and fell off! "He has hurt his leg and his arm and has been told by Santa to rest. Detective Inspector Sneezy is investigating whilst the unicorn is now in jail! However, was it really an accident? Did someone spook the unicorn?"
