This Christmas elf loves to play hide-and-seek
almost as much as he loves little children. Every time your
child closes his or her eyes and goes to sleep, Christopher
Pop-In-Kins finds a new hiding place. He loves nothing more than
to watch your child race around looking for him the next
morning. Of course, they’ll both giggle with delight when he's
found.
Bring Christopher and Christina Marie Pop-In-Kins
into your home for the holidays and create treasured memories
that your family will remember forever. Christopher Pop-In-Kins
remains one of the oldest, most loved Christmas elves available

connect and grow with your children. And now you can easily add
more precious memories to your sacred Christmas festivities year
after year.
