Our “Elf on the Shelf” Has Good Taste 2013-12-11T13:42:57-08:00 Chris Henrichsen

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

On Monday morning, we awoke to find our “Elf on the Shelf” elf doing some light reading in the living room.

He was reading The Examined Life by Robert Nozick. From the above picture, it appears that he was specifically reading the chapter on The Holocaust. This has come in handy, since I am writing specifically about that chapter today. Check back at Approaching Justice tomorrow to see if my collaboration with the elf  produces anything interesting.

Merry Christmas! Yes, even to all those Elf on the Shelf haters out there.
