ROCKPORT, Mass. – A life-size elf mannequin on display in a Massachusetts yard has been turning heads — and occasionally losing his own.
Actress Melissa McMeekin has been having a little fun by moving her 6-foot-tall elf doll to different locations outside her Rockport home.
During the countdown to Christmas, Daryl the red-suited elf has appeared seated on a tree branch, riding a bicycle, lying on a hammock and tied up like a hostage.
McMeekin tells the Gloucester Times her family has been getting a kick out of the double takes the movable elf has elicited from passers-by. She says on one blustery day Daryl fell off his bike and his head landed a few feet away.
McMeekin’s acting credits include “The Fighter,” ”American Hustle” and other films.
