Camping Under the Tree

The elf pitched a tent under the tree and is toasting a marshmallow over a glowing tissue-paper campfire that never gets hot.

Instructions

Fold a napkin or a sheet of paper into a tent shape and set it under the tree.
Crisscross a few pretzel sticks as the fire logs.
Wrap a flameless tea light loosely in red, orange and yellow tissue paper so the 'flames' glow, and set it on the logs.
Put a mini marshmallow on a pretzel stick and pose your elf holding it toward the fire.
Switch the tea light on right before bed.

Tip: Use only a flameless tea light here, never a real candle near the tree or the paper.
