He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!
How's that for a threat to have little kids shaking in their boots?
The Kids already have a healthy dose of inbuilt guilt.
The Girl used to come to us when she'd done something naughty and announce that she was going to her room.
But I was unprepared for the Christmas when we lined up with 300 other pageant-goers to meet Santa Claus for a present.
In fact we lined up twice because we got palmed off onto an Elf the first time and the kids only wanted the real thing.
So, after a half hour of standing in 42 degree heat being papered all over both thighs with little sticky handprints, we finally reach St Nick and he asks "have you been good this year?" - and The Boy promptly bursts into tears.
I think next year we'll celebrate Solstice instead and go sit naked under a tree somewhere - bugger the red coats and Elves.

Good blog, that kind of talk is what it is all about. Keep your chin up.

Sitting naked under a tree on Xmas is something that southern hemisphere dwellers can only enjoy around this time of the year. Have fun with that. Love your blog.
