5. He heard the cat/dog/bird and got scared. He will try again later.

7. He heard the kids talking back. He can’t move again until he hears an apology.
8. His cell phone died and he lost track of time.
9. His favorite television show was on t.v. He promises to not let it happen again!
10. He drank too much eggnog (Chocolate, Cake, etc.) and got an upset tummy. He needs to sleep today.
11. He wasn’t sure if it was night time yet. Open a curtain so he can see better.
12. He is feeling a little short on magic. Sprinkle him with glitter and wait another day.
13. He might be too cold to move. Wrap him in a blanket and wait a little while.
14. The elf was too busy helping other elves find their hiding spots he got behind. Won’t happen again!
15. There were Lightning Deals on Amazon he couldn’t miss. He has a family to buy for too, ya know.
