According to Leonard, \"this tongue-in-cheek Order was intended to be a good laugh for tired parents struggling to keep up with their nightly Elf duties.\"

The judge did post the order on social media; however, he assures parents and children that they can still carry on with Elf on the Shelf if they so please.

\"I drafted and signed the Order. It was not filed in and it is certainly not enforceable,\" Leonard said.
