3. LOL... with the rising costs of fuel these days
Another punishment would be more fitting...

I told my friend's kid that if he was bad, Santa would send him to the North Pole & make him work all year at the factory making toys for all the other girls & boys.

What about the elves?

On strike.

2. No.. But one year they got "office supply" stockings
each one got their own:
stapler
scissors
tape
rubber bands
paper punch
paper clips


Alas..it did not work, They just lost THEIRS too and still came after my own..:(

Another year they each got their very own iron.. (I got tired of having "gunk" on the bottom of MY iron..

They got real presents too :)

4. No, but they're starting to get real pissed
about the Pez dispensers and toothbrushes.

Santa - all talk, no action.

5. no, but
I'd put coal in my mom's.

I'm serious. The woman destroyed me when I was 19. She continued to do so until I was about 22.

Sorry. LOTS of bad blood and lost respect and love. Just needed to vent.

6. my daughter, paris junior, the psych major will be receiving some coal...
...in her sock this year. she went over budget.

instead of a bundle of switches, this year she gets some cash for her xmas trip to vegas as a reward for not getting into a situation with a policeman for one entire year.
