He’s making a list

I've been hearing this around town a lot lately, "If you're bad. Santa won't get you any presents!"

Does anyone really follow up on this? (Besides my parents in 1982) Should "bad kids" get coal and no presents?

Well, if you're asking the guy with no kids, my answer is YES!

I'm a people watcher by nature, in the malls, around town, coffee shops, etc. I've endured 10 months of "countdowns", "time-outs" and barganing only to have the parent give in out of frustration or possible embarassment.

Now parents request help from Santa. Should Santa pick up where they leave off?
