Ho ho ho! Hello from the North Pole!
I've been checking my list (twice, of course!) and I'm seeing SO many good boys and girls this year. I'm really proud of you!
Some of you have asked me how to get a little higher on the Nice List. So the Elves and I put together a challenge. One kind thing a day, for 12 days. Ready? Let's go!
Day 1: Make your bed without being asked.
Day 2: Draw a picture for someone you love.
Day 3: Help set the table for dinner.
Day 4: Say something nice to your brother or sister. Yes, even if they took your toy!
Day 5: Pick up your toys before bedtime.
Day 6: Make a card for a neighbor, grandparent or someone who lives alone.
Day 7: Share a snack or a toy with a friend.
Day 8: Say thank you to your teacher, bus driver or lunch helper.
Day 9: Help feed the pets.
Day 10: Pick out a toy you've outgrown to give to a child who needs one.
Day 11: Give someone a really big hug.
Day 12: Tell your grown-up one thing you're thankful for.
Every time you finish one, put a star on your calendar. The Elves are watching and they LOVE stars.
When I call you this year, I'll want to hear all about it!
Ho ho ho,
Santa

Print the list, stick it on the fridge and let them check off each day! Then add a favorite or two to your notes for Santa. When he says "I heard you made a card for your neighbor!" ...their faces. It's the BEST!
