But what about the children? Have you ever told them that they're on the naughty list and how long did you keep it up for?


Wouldn't do it , I let them believe when they wanted to --
Then as soon as humanly possible , I made sure they knew it was a nice story but all utter utter bullshit.
Love the picture , would love to know the actual context , very amusing.
I used to pretend that I had a direct line to report their bad behavior to Santa to get them to behave sometimes. It did work better closer to the holidays. I would pick up my phone and pretend to dial and be on the phone with him. But, the kids got older and my daughter would joke that she knew she'd been good enough during the year to still get some presents even if she didn't do what I asked. Ha ha
No, however I've gotten a potato from a yulelad or two throughout my childhood and I was warned about it. 🤣
My siblings once convinced me I had been so "naughty" that I'd be eaten by their mom. They kept that going for 2 years until mom found out.
I never really did this. I used to tell them that Santa had to cut back this year because the economy was bad. I told them that Democrats were spending too much money. This was during th eClinton administration. As a result they are all Republicans.

When my kids were little, they were often told that Santa might not bring them presents if they were naughty. It worked... most of the time... they were little angels.
I've never had to tell any of my nieces and nephews that. But I remind them that if anybody eats the candy canes off of the tree before Christmas, that they might not receive gifts from Santa. As my mom was upset the one year they did that.
lol... nope
no "threats" about it either
I don't have children. I did tell my fiancee that when I get home tonight, I am going to do something with her that will definitely put ME on Santa's naughty list!
My parents never allowed us to believe in fairy tales. 😆. So they wouldn’t really weaponize their existence against us as children.
THEY TOLD US WHAT IS, AND WHAT IT WAS. THEY TOLD US THE TRUE ROUGH TOUGH REALITY.
I told my kids that a couple times when they were younger. Their attitude changed real quick
When children get very ornery, I'd tell them that.
Reminded me of this video

No. Isn't the threat is that they are in the undecided list and it could go either way?
I'm a father. Sometimes it's necessary if you want the child to shut up, sit down and behave.
No not that I can remember but It is quite a common saying well I'm the past I can recall it being said to me a few times when younger.
Yeah, my niece. That kid is a little shithead.
I stay on the naughty list
I would never do that
No. I never talk about Santa.
