Do You Use Santa as a Threat?
We all know the story about the kid who got a lump of coal for Christmas. But, the other day I was out shopping and overheard a mom telling her son that if he didn't get back in the stroller she'd call Santa. The lil guy was sick of shopping and just wanted to go home.

Tell Mommy: Where Do You Hide Gifts From Santa?
It's time to stow your holiday purchases so lil snoopers don't ruin their surprise.

I just took my lil angel for her first Santa picture and was anxious to see her reaction to the long white bearded man cloaked in red. Luckily, she did pretty well and didn't push out that pouty lower lip until the last minute of her photo session. As I grabbed her out of Santa's hands, he gave me a great pointer that I'd like to share with you.
