My co-workers absolutely loved Figgy last December so I tried to gather up as many new scenes as I could. I hit up the Goodwill, Value Village, found stuff at Grammie and Grandpa's house to use, stuff from my parent's house, stuff I see at the Dollar Store and found a couple things while going through all of my bins out in the garage.
This year I made a plan of what everyday was going to be. I start on the first weekday of December and go up until the last weekday of December before Christmas. This year it was Christmas Eve which was on a Tuesday. I made sure the night before work I would have everything ready when I arrived at work. The scenes took me anywhere from a few minutes to maybe 15 minutes or so to put up. Everyone who arrived after me were delighted to see what Figgy was up to. This year I got to borrow Mom's Seahawk elf, who I named Russ. Russ and Figgy are best friends.

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ engage in snowball fight 2019!

Instagram post: Shark Attack!! Figgy and Russ came prepared with their shark cage, goldfish crackers as bait and a boat and harpoon.

Instagram post: Only 8 days until Christmas! Thanks Figgy and Russ for the friendly reminder. Yesterday, Figgy and Russ were joined by a new friend. Not sure what his name is or what he's trying to accomplish. He looks like a Christmas gnome. #elfontheshelf, #omd, #gocougs, #gohawks, #countdowntochristmas, #holidayseason
Instagram post: Figgy and Russ infiltrated Smurf Village and stole the smurfberries the Smurfs spent all spring and summer growing. Gargamel and Asrael are no where to be seen. There may be a Smurf revolution to get them back. Some of them already have weapons! Have a smurfin' holiday season and don't eat too many smurfberries! #elfontheshelf, #gohawks, #gocougs, #smurfs, #smurfvillage, #smurfberries, #omd
Instagram post: For those of you who have seen the new Star Wars movie, please no spoilers! Russ and Figgy saw the movie last night and tried to spread spoilers.

Figgy swore he wouldn't tell anyone if he let him go. #elfontheshelf, #gocougs, #gohawks, #omd, #starwars, #nospoilers
Instagram post: Born in 1974, Sounders! Sounders! Figgy got out his Sounders gear so he could represent our team in their second MLS Cup win in five years. We get to add that second star to our logo. Way to go boys and the fans who cheered them on the entire season! Let's make 2020 memorable as well! #gocougs, #elfontheshelf, #gosounders, #omd, #bornin1974sounders, #mlschamps
