Pink's husband Carey Hart jumps on hilarious Christmas Elf On The Shelf trend

Pink’s husband Carey Hart has jumped on the bandwagon of a hilarious Christmas trend involving the ever popular Elf on the Shelf.

The sweet idea behind the shelf is that Santa Claus himself has sent out his trusty elves to keep an eye on kids in the lead up to Christmas to make sure they won’t end up with a lump of coal instead of a present.

But Carey’s elf and many others popping up on social media are proving to be a little bit naughty.

The famous father of two’s Elf on the Shelf seemed to be nursing a shot of Middleton Whisky – which apparently features as a tradition for Carey once Christmas time rolls around.

"That time of year again," Carey wrote alongside the Instagram snap of his elf cheekily holding onto a shot glass.

Meanwhile, other naughty elves have been tagging children’s pictures, eating all the Christmas candy and just making an absolute mess of things.
