Once upon a time a long time ago there was a young boy named Olaf who went to a very special daycare.
The nice lady who took care of three-year-old Olaf gifted all the little children a special little elf at a very special time of year.
Magical BO the Elf went on many adventures with Olaf and his family. Visiting here, there and everywhere.
One day BO the Elf, who always gets into mischief, decided to hop into Olaf’s backpack.
Bo decided to go on a quest for a little edumacation.
That’s right, Bo secretly went to school with Olaf.
But, uh-oh, BO did not make it back home that day, not so long ago.
Would Olaf’s family find BO? Would BO find his family? Would that mischievous little elf get back home in time for Christmas?
“BO’s magic and his craziness just grows every year,” Olaf’s mom, Erica McLean, said.
McLean shared a few of the shenanigans BO’s been up to during the the past fours.
“Our family loves protein powder in our smoothies and last year BO had taken some protein powder and made snow angels with it on the counter and recently BO had written a note to Olaf that said, “I made your school pictures prettier,’ and so we had to go around the house looking for BO and we found him next to last year’s school pictures and he had drawn funny eyebrows and moustaches on the kids’ pictures.”
This is not the first time BO has hopped into Olaf’s backpack for some adventure.
“BO has snuck into the car in Olaf’s backpack as we’ve gone on Christmas trips before so it’s not new that BO is clever enough to sneak into the car,” McLean explained.
This time around it went a bit differently.
“I received a note from Olaf’s teacher that BO needed to stay home because he had too much fun in the classroom,” McLean said.
“Coincidentally, that was the day that BO went missing. He didn’t make it back home and I have to tell you there was lots of fear and anxiety and worry that BO was lost forever.”
Olaf was distressed, to say the least.
“Olaf came home and said ‘I have bad news, I think BO is gone but he is magic so maybe he teleported back home.’ So Olaf started looking for him and we were very worried for him. We could sense the anxiety.”
It turns out that BO had simply fallen out of Olaf's backpack on the school bus home.
“So Olaf’s best friend found Olaf and gave him to the bus driver and made sure Olaf got BO back the very next day,” McLean said.
So a big shout out goes to Olaf's best friend and Mr. Bus Driver of Route 20.
When Olaf came back from school all was right with the world.
“Olaf walked in the door and said ‘Guess what, Mom? He’s here! Everything’s OK.’ It was an emotional reunion and there was lots and lots of relief. I really feel this just adds to the magic that is BO. I feel like him having those adventures under his belt has really strengthened BO’s connection to our family.”
Merry Christmas everyone and may you all enjoy the magic of the holidays just like the McLean family.
