You'd better watch out...



There is no middle ground.












"Then I'd better start being good!" she said with a note of panic in her voice. "The song only says he sees you when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake. What a tricky song! Why didn't they just also say that he knows when you are sleeping and that he sees when you're awake so that we can know that, too?! I'm so behind on being good!!"

And that explains it. She thought Santa had been watching her only when she was asleep—silly Santa! She's as good as gold then. Getting presents in her stocking would be a breeze!

And then once he knew she was awake he'd stop watching and she could do whatever she wanted with no consequence!

I'm glad I could clear that up for her.

Now, perhaps, she can start being good for goodness' sake (and if not for that then at least for not getting coal in her stocking)!

  1. I saw a cartoon yesterday (which I cannot find today) that showed Santa looking out at the polluted world and saying something to Mrs. Santa about he shouldn't have left coal in so many stockings. Something like that! So here is hoping he doesn't have to leave coal for Miss Z!
