CHANDA BELL & CHRISTA PITTS, WEST GEORGIA
Co-Founders of The Lumistella Company, home of The Elf on the Shelf Brand
Imagine being applauded for “revolutionizing Christmas.” This is precisely what the twin sisters and trailblazing entrepreneurs Christa Pitts and Chanda Bell, both West Georgia, have been celebrated for.
The sisters are founders and co-CEOs of The Lumistella Company, home to the author-published phenomenon, The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition, and its whimsical world of additional stories.
In 2005, with deeply rooted family values, they united with their mother to bring their cherished family tradition to the world. Refusing to accept rejection from established publishers, they risked it all and formed their own publishing company. Their tenacity paid off, and today their assortment of books and products are consistent bestsellers recognized by The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly.
