EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — An Elf on the Shelf has been causing some trouble for the El Paso senior community at the Legacy at Cimarron.
The Elf on the Shelf, Peppermint Patty, has shown up in unexpected locations, rearranged items, and made her presence known.
Staff walked in one morning to find the Life Enrichment Director’s window covered with whipped-cream Christmas trees.
Pepperming Patty had raided the kitchen supplies and spent the night spray-painting the glass!
During a physical activity program for residents, Peppermint Patty perched on one resident’s shoulder for the entire route.
Peppermint Patty was able to get a front-row seat to the program, and the resident was able to complete the activity with a new workout partner.
“Peppermint Patty has been getting into everything, but her spray paint job may be her best prank yet. Her catching a ride on a resident’s shoulder during the Walk & Roll was a close second! Our Connections residents check every morning to see where she’s turned up and what she’s done. It’s safe to say this elf has been keeping us on our toes.”
