Any parent who has introduced Elf on the Shelf into their holiday traditions knows how difficult it can be coming up with new places to hide it and fun ways for their kids to interact with the elf. Seemingly tired of the typically family-friendly elf hiding out in a Christmas tree or peeking around present, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel had some new ideas for their family's elf to have some "naughty" fun.
On Christmas Day, Biel took to her Instagram to share photos of their "naughty a-- elf's" hilarious antics to drum up excitement for her and Timberlake's two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4. Some notable snaps included the elf doing "target practice" with bottles of ketchup and mustard, scaling up the side of a wall covered in gift bows, indulging a bit too much in mini marshmallows and using a marker to draw faces on the kids' pictures. The latter also featured a message to Silas and Phineas to "stay off the naughty list, or I'll paint your faces for real, just like this."
The Candy actress also shared clips of the elf's mischievous dealings, such as hanging up some of their toys, having fun with a photocopier and being caught up in a spider's web while a sign decreed, "This really is a nightmare before X-Mas!"
The "Selfish" singer also shared a video on Instagram of when "daddy got ahold of the elf," and of course it had a musical twist as the elf became "DJ Fart-Butt" and played techno music while perched behind homemade turntables. It even got his wife's stamp of approval as she stood to side nodding her head and laughing.
