The View From Lower Down

This post is part of the Christmas Quiz 2021; Feel free to play along if you want to, but newcomers will not be able to score points A game of Elf on the Shelf! Yes, I know it doesn't rhyme. Simply put, I have hidden an elf on one page of my blog. If you find it, all you have to do is email me and tell me where you found it. The elf looks like this, although the elf emoji may look different depending on  what device you're using: For obvious reasons I have blocked out the post title and date After Day One, the Elf will be moved. This means that on Day Two, The Elf will be available for 60 points on a different post. However, unlike an actual Elf on the Shelf, the previous Elf will still be available, although for fewer points.  For example, if Day One's elf was on my review of Joseph and the Unnecessarily Long Title (It's not), on Day Two the Elf might be available for 60 points on my Monopoly Tips post , and the Joseph Elf would be available for 50 points.

For example, if I was spelling a word with the letter M in it, you might mishear that as N (this is the simplest mishearing, and most other letters it's not so much of a problem).

So after a while of waiting to see if my brother would rejoin me in watching WandaVision (he stopped after Ep. 4 because it was "too Marvel"), I started watching again on my own. By this time Disney+ had forgotten that I exist, so it had lost my place and started playing episode 1 again (this is an oversimplification; it remembered which episodes I had watched but still started again on Ep. 1, possibly because when I watched it the first time I couldn't be bothered to sit through the FIFTEEN MINUTES of credits). Anyway, I went back to the select episode screen, so the screen went black. However, the credits music kept playing and I noticed something... ©  "A Newlywed Couple",  ©  Lopez, Lopez, 2020 Do you hear it? No? Listen again to those first two notes... Still nothing?
