Well little did he know that SANTA WAS WATCHING and Elf Jingle too. This is what Vincent received this morning when he woke up. It was folded and had a bow on it and was placed on the piano where he would be SURE to see it...
Vincent,
Santa has been watching you and he asked for me to say,
That he wasn’t very happy with your actions yesterday.
You hurt your little sister and to your mom you spoke so badly.
You bothered dad while he was working so now I tell you sadly,
That you are on the NAUGHTY LIST dear Santa is upset!
If you don’t change your actions, then no presents you will get.
But this can all be fixed you see if you can change your ways,
Like being nice and listening for many, many days.
Santa really loves you and he knows you can be good.
So be loving to your family, like you know you should.
Santa will check up you. I suggest that you be nice.
And if you’re wise, then you will think about taking my advice.
Elf Jingle
Vincent saw the letter on the piano, and then saw Lily's present sitting next to it. He said, "Lily got a present and all I got was a stupid letter." I told him to just read it and see what it said. He started to read it and then I felt it would be better if I read it because I would be able to read it with the right emotion.
When I was done reading the letter, I looked at him, and his eyes welled up with tears and I noticed he was trying to fight crying. I didn't want him to be totally devastated, so, to break some tension, I smirked and said, "you're buuusssted!" He laughed and then I asked him what the letter said to him. He said "I am on the naughty list" and then proceeded to ask me, "Mommy, what does it mean to change my ways?"
The letter worked like a charm and let's just say... He was perfect the rest of the day:)
