From Beyonce to Madonna: Elf on the Shelf boogies and twerks through 12 days of Christmas
If you think an elf’s only purpose is to make Christmas toys for little boys and girls during the holiday season, think again. Atlantan Eric Erickson, a Virginia-Highland resident, is showing us that these little guys also know how to get down and boogie to some of our favorite tunes. From Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” to Madonna’s “Material Girl”, Erickson is putting a twist on the 12 days of Christmas theme by making these elves the stars of some of pop’s most famous music videos.

Shania Twain - “That Don’t Impress Me Much”
Britney Spears - “...Baby One More Time”
