The GB&G List OR The BB&G List

Which one are you? GB&G or BB&G? For the uninitiated, that's Good Boy & Girl or Bad Boy & Girl. And for the really uninitiated, that's LISTS--as in SANTA'S lists.

Now I'd like to think that we're all GB&Gs here at Casa de Chili. However, we do have our moments. So occasionally we like to check our status. I know I'm an elf and therefore I have a direct line to the main elf himself, but even I don't like to abuse privilege. What's a gal to do?

Luckily there is a workaround. It's called the Nice-O-Meter. You just type in your child's first name and last name (no other identifying info is necessary) and hit 'Ask Santa'. You'll be rewarded with paragraphs like

Has been nice most of the year (not just near Christmas)! Makes others happy. Could share a little more, however. Politeness is sometimes very good. Can be a great listener.

or

Still very much on nice list, but must continue good behavior. Should eat more vegetables instead of junk food. Was very polite last Thursday! When doing chores, needs to do them as well as possible. Often exhibits good behavior.

Nice, but with a few naughty marks. Neatness needs improvement. Behavior has been good sometimes, not so good other times. Manners could still use some attention. Was very nice last Monday.

See? All very nice and generic, but they can be used to your advantage in this very special season of making our children behave in the hopes of receiving more presents. Now, I need one for Cupid, leprechauns, the Easter Bunny...

And in the parenting game anything that gives me an edge is okay by me. :)

Hmmmm. I typed in my name to see what he had to say about me. He said I've improved on my cleanliness, which he really likes.

Either I was REALLY gross last year, or Santa's a total pervert. I can't decide which.
