What Is a Meme?
1. Elf On The Shelf
The Elf on a shelf meme originally came from a kid’s Christmas book that was published in 2005. The book tells a story of how elves would go into peoples’ homes and watch over kids, reporting back to Santa telling him whether they were naughty, or nice. The book is written in a rhyming style, as typified by the title. Elf on the Shelf first became an internet Meme in December 2016. The original showed an action figure of the Ash Ketchum character in the trash, with the title: You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf: leading people to guess the meme was Ash in the Trash. Since then, countless memes on the same theme have been created.
