Little Boy Is So Terrified of Elf on the Shelf He Causes His Whole Family to Freak the Hell Out

The notorious Elf on the Shelf has become a staple item in family homes in the days leading up to Christmas. He's there to report back to Santa Claus and tell him if the kids have been naughty or nice, but some kids apparently don't respond too well to the surprise elf popping up mysteriously. This little boy was so petrified of the innocent Elf on the Shelf, he took having a sh*t fit to a new level.

The video, which was initially posted to Reddit, starts with a dad recording his kids' reactions to the elf, but immediately after, at the mere sight of the Elf on the Shelf box, his son loses it and beings screaming incessantly. However, the best part about the entire video is that even though the poor child is so terrified of the toy, he's wearing a shirt with an identical elf on it!

Watch the video above to see this Christmas Elf on the Shelf situation gone terribly, terribly wrong.
