Figgy and Russ Take Over December

This was the first time since 2019 I was able to do a few scenes at work.  I've been doing my DJA since October and going into the office on Thursdays went hand in hand with the agreement. That meant, I had to do three elf scenes at work. I was not sure how the new unit I was working for would react to the elf scenes. I went ahead and did it anyway.

I had a few new scenes like I try to do each year. I find my props at yard sales, my grandparents' house, the Goodwill, Value Village and the Dollar Tree. Sometimes people give me ideas and give me the props to do it with. I already had one person want me to make them a Figgy and Russ calendar and we had it made in the fall and gave it to her for Christmas about a week ago.  She absolutely loved it.

Here are the ones for this year:

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ have returned, immediately getting into their crazy antics, and they always seem to take it a step too far or cross the wrong person.  This time, they decided to tangle with Spiderman, and he was not in the mood to mess around. We will see how they get out of this one. Stay tuned. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #spiderman, #marvel, #webs, #tangle

Instagram post: They survived Spiderman! I'm not sure how...they're pretty tricky. Today, they stumble upon the enchanted fortress, make friends with the ponies and the dragon. With their wit and charm, they succeed! They feel so fortunate to be a part of this castle.  See you all tomorrow! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #castle, #ponies, #dragon, #princess, #fortressofsolitude

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ decided to go ice fishing on their day off. They were soon joined by a bunch of outdoor/woodland creature who were curious about what they were doing. This year, the elves made better decision when regarding ice and snow safety. They even managed to catch a fish! Have a great rest of the week everyone! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #icefishing, #igloo, #creatures, #snow

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ sure do like to test boundaries. They were not able to get the Infinity Gauntlet before Thanos snapped his fingers. Sadly, the elves' spirits disappeared into the Soul World, inside the soul stone. Don't worry, though. They will be back soon. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #marvel, #infinitystones, #snap, #blip, #thanos, #timeline, #pilesofdust

Instagram post: Oh no! They are back at it again! Thanos eliminating half of humanity didn't stop Figgy and Russ from their elf antics. Does anyone need some tasty chips? The potatoes sure didn't like watching their buddy be grated into chips. They were horrified that they were next on the list! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #fuss, #omd, #potatoes, #chips, #gallery, #friendchipgoals

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ decided to get the band back together this holiday season. I present to you the Figgy Puddin' Band! Don't fret, they will make sure to stick to the rhythm of your favorite song! Yes, they also sing Christmas songs but try to stay away from All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carrey.  Hahaha! #elfontheshelf, #russ, #figgy, #omd, #band, #festive, #rockstars, #christmas

Instagram post: Do you wanna build a gingerbread house? Figgy and Russ sure did. They had a great time making them too; messes and all! They want you to have a wonder holiday season because life is what you bake of it! 15 more days until Christmas! Spend it wisely! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #gingerbreadhouses, #candy, #frosting, #fun, #daystilchristmas

Instagram post: Lost in a sea of colorful balls this holiday season. Figgy and Russ have a great time, diving into a world of endless fun. Hanging with your pal, all day long, needs no reason. Happiness is a ball pit adventure. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #ballpit, #fun, #bestfriends, #adventure

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ managed to make it on board the Executor to case some elf shenanigans. Unfortunately, Darth Vader caught them in the act. They've been in some precarious situations before, but can they escape the dark side? We will find out. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #starwars, #darthvader, #deathstar, #stormtroopers

Instagram post: Figgy and Russ took the day off to volunteer instead of causing mayhem. They found their local pet rescue and decided to spend time, pet, and wash the cats and dogs. They are hoping these pets will find loving homes soon! Instead of gifts this year, maybe consider volunteering your time at a pet shelter, fostering or donating goods to a humane society. Happy Friday, everyone! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #pets, #shelter, #volunteering, #cats, #dogs

Instagram post: It's been a while since we saw Chubb's. With the power of suggestion, Figgy and Russ decided to take Santa's sleigh for a joy ride. It doesn't take much for the elves to get ideas in their heads to cause chaos. Let's just hope they don't ruin Santa's sleigh before the big night! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #santassleigh, #chubbsnuggets, #joyride

Instagram post: We haven't seen Small, the trivia shark, in a while, He showed up while Figgy, Russ and Jones were getting ready for a deep sea dive. Smalls got their attention that he was being chased by a bigger and meaner shark. Figgy and Russ had to chews wisely and got out the harpoon gun. With one shot, Figgy took the bad shark down and saved Smalls. Stay jaw-some! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #smalls, #triviashark, #badshark, #harpoon, #chewswisely, #deepseaadventure

Instagram post: I knew I heard a bunch of noise last night and found flour everywhere this morning. Figgy and Russ had a hankering for some cookies. They're usually pretty good about cleaning up after themselves, but not this time. They didn't even share any of the cookies they made either. They are them all before sun up. What a bunch of little jerks! That reminds me, Mom and I still have to make Christmas cookies this weekend. #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #cookies, #baking, #flour, #selfish

Instagram post: You get a donut, and you get a donut! Figgy and Russ decided to be generous this morning and share donuts with people in the office. Obviously, it isn't as cool because we all work from home now. Yes, sometimes they aren't all chaos and up to no good. 6 days until Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #donuts, #sharingiscaring, #office, #coworkers

Instagram post: Happy Fri-yay! Figgy and Russ took advantage of the snowfall this morning. They have a lot to do before Christmas Eve and Christmas since they are just around the corner. They hope you have a fabulous weekend and don't unravel under the holiday pressure! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #snow, #sledding, #christmassweaters, #tightknit

Instagram post: Well, Figgy and Russ finally got caught and put in jail. I imagine, since they are creative enough, they won't be staying for very long. We will see how they get out of this bind they're in! The adventure continues and ends tomorrow. 

*Bonus points to those who can tell me what cartoon the plate numbers on their chests come from*

Instagram post: You are correct! Figgy and Russ did escape jail with the help of my nephew Brian. You can't keep these sneaky elves trapped for too long. Today is Christmas Eve and the last day of Figgy and Russ until next December. Thank you to everyone who have enjoyed them along the way. It is much appreciated! Happy Holidays! #elfontheshelf, #figgy, #russ, #omd, #brian, #nephew, #elfcostume, #omnom, #christmastree

See you next December!

Next Adventure: Christmas Eve and Christmas
