Anyone who just wants to turn on the TV suddenly holds a present: in this gift-wrapped remote prank, the elf wrapped it up overnight.
😜 What Did the Elf Do?
The remote is wrapped in gift paper and topped with a bow, and the elf sits on top looking pleased. The kids get to unwrap it before any morning TV. It takes five minutes.
