BOSTON, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Residents in the Boston area can employ the help of a "Living Elf on the Shelf" to watch over their homes this holiday season.

A Massachusetts man posted a listing on Craigslist offering to attend Holiday parties dressed as an Elf on the Shelf and "stare emptily at your guests" for $100 an hour.


"I specialize in holiday themed events, either yours or an un-expecting friend's, but I also offer contracted private investigation and babysitting services," the man who identified himself only as "whatever you want my name to be" wrote.

The man also states that, due to high demand, an advance notice of 48 hours is required for those seeking his services.
