The Secrets of the Christmas Stockings Kept My Children Motivated

From the Front Page Sections, translated…

On Christmas Eve, my two young kids headed off to bed early, they each hung a stocking by their beds, hoped, to be blessed by Santa’s presents.

this, is what you’d get if you’d been good…

not my photo…

Early in the morn, my fifth grade eldest daughter showed off her two toys as well as two-hundred dollars from the stockings, and read the words of encouragements from Santa, said that he’d wanted her to study harder in the coming year, getting better in her violin, and, followed our directions.

And my second grade naughty son took out the two toys and the one-dollar red envelope, said in a muffled voice, that he will work hard, to behave himself, hoped, that next year, Santa will strike him off of the naughty list, he will, wake up on time now, focus when he does his homework assignments, to not throw his temper tantrums, that he will, receive the same amount of cash prize as his older sister had.

misbehave, and this, is what you’ll get!

Santa Claus brings out the purities in children, motivates them to be the best version of themselves, and, the parents are, more than happy, to play the part too.  I just hope, that my kids won’t discover this secret too soon, and lose that innocent expectation toward Christmas.

So, this, is a great way, to get your kids to act well, and, the kids had, apparently, yet to figure out, that their parents ARE Santa, so, just keep letting them, live in the expectations of behaving well, and being rewarded for good behaviors, because in reality, sometimes, it just, doesn’t work out that way at all.
