Since last year, I've been collecting various props from the Dollar Tree, the Goodwill's, the Value Villages and my grandparent's house so Figgy and Russ could have some different scenes since I started doing this back in 2015. I start the first week day in December and end on Christmas Eve. I don't do scenes on the weekend. This is mostly for my coworkers and my Facebook and Instagram followers.
It's fun but sometimes I have a hard time finding different scenes to do every year. I try to sprinkle new ones into the scenes I already have. This year was weird doing it from home but I was able to set it up the night before which made mornings easier.
Here are the ones from this year:
Instagram post: Figgy ad Russ are back! This pretty much sums up 2020 for us this year. I couldn't find anything to represent murder hornets or having all of our vacations, concerts and work days taken away. #stupidvirus2020, #wasteofayear, #figgy, #elfontheshelf, #russ, #toiletpaper, #handsanitizer, #workingfromhome, #masks
Instagram post: Figgy and Russ thought it would be a great idea to get some pool in this morning since we are still in a partial shut down until at least mid December. The snacks were delicious and there was some serious betting going on. I'm not sure who won. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #stupidvirus2020, #masks, #pool, #bets, #snacks
Instagram post: Because the stupid virus is still around; Figgy and Russ's Disneyland vacation was canceled so they brought a version of Disneyland to themselves. The castle was made by @erika.k.larson two years ago from mail boxes, tissue paper, tape and fluff. Horses, dragons and trolls oh my! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #castle, #dragons, #trolls, #horses, #stupidvirus2020
Instagram post: Figgy and Russ are taking some time today to enjoy some fresh snowfall. They made sure to bring their hot chocolate, candy canes and some marshmallows to roast next to the warm fire. I sure hope we get some snow this year...lots of it. #elfontheshelf, #winterwonderland, #snowmen, #snow, #hotchocolate, #marshmallows, #fire, #stupidvirus2020
Instagram post: Figgy and Russ trying to get away from stupid Covid...leaving it in their dust! No more Covid, no more Covid! Go away, go away!! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #stupidvirus2020, #goawaycovid
Instagram post: Since we are not in the office to enjoy our trivia shark, Smalls, we get to enjoy Smalls' cousin Bob, eat a diver while being harpooned by Figgy. Rush watches the chaos in the distance on his pontoon boat. Covid stull lurks in the background...#elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #stupidvirus2020, #sharkattack, #shark, #ocean
Instagram post: Smell that? It's the aroma of fresh Christmas cookies and cupcakes baking in the oven. Mmmm. You know you want some. 'Tis the season! Figgy and Russ might share if you ask nice. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #stupidvirus2020, #baking, #christmascookies
Instagram post: I decided to do a night snow scene with Figgy, Russ and friends. They brought their hot chocolate and made a small fire to keep warm. Covid still lurks in the background but hopefully not for too long. #elfonthshelf, #figgy, #russ, #stupidvirus2020, #snow, #hotchocolate
Instagram post: Figgy and Russ are so tire of the Covid nonsense they started doing research of their own on it. They are making pretty good strides. #figgy, #russ, #elfontheshelf, #stupidvirus2020, #fedup, #research, #randomcoolfishtank
Instagram post: Ladies and gentleman start your engines! What kind of race is this? It's all done with shopping carts. You race through a supermarket and things go flying into your carts. It's wonderful, it's wild, it's amazing! Let's face it, you never know what's going to happen on Super Market Sweep! Figgy and Russ were selected to participate on this crazy show and they destroyed everyone. Our host, David Ruprecht, stands by. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #shppingcarts, #supermarketsweep, #gameshows, #crazyfuntimes
Instagram post: Guess what day is it?? Taco Tuesday! Vacation style!! I am super jealous of Figgy and Russ right now. I can't wait to be able to vacation again like we did pre-Covid. It's looking like there might be light at the end of the tunnel. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #tacotuesday, #vacation, #sunshine, #stupidvirus2020
Instagram post: Figgy and Russ decided to do breakfast in bed after getting home so late from their trip to Mexico the day before. It's a great day for rest, relaxation and maybe a good book. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #breakfastinbed
Instagram post: I want it to snow so badly that I have to vicariously experience it through my elves and their friends. I had to mend the igloo @erika.k.larson made two years ago because it was coming apart in some places, otherwise, good times had by all! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #snowscene, #snow, #friends, #presents, #miniradioflyer
Instagram post: Time for some holiday beer pong!! Currently, Figgy leads Russ by one game but clearly there's real not losers in beer pong. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #beerpong, #happyholidays, #stupidvirus2020
Instagram post: Bob Ross aka Figgy started a painting class this morning. He and Russ are painting happy little trees and Covid got in the way. Stupid Covid! It ruins everything including paintings! #elfontheshelf, #russ, #figgy, #bobross, #happylittletrees, #stupidvirus2020, #painting
Instagram post: Russ and Figgy are hanging out at the elf cafe. They needed a day of rest, relaxation and snacks. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #cafe, #snacks, #randr, #treatyoself
Instagram post: It's such a nice a nice day outside for late December so Figgy and Russ decide to take their new motorbikes out for a spin. Races start at 2:30. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #motorbikes, #races, #stupidvirus2020
Instagram post: Figgy, Russ and the drunk penguin all wish you a happy and safe holiday season. We have all enjoyed bringing smiles to your faces with the elf posts. We can't wait for next December when there will be some new scenes mixed with some old ones. Until next year! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #holidays, #uglysweater, #santa, #drunkpenguin, #bsb, #minietchasketchdoodle
