holidays

When the kids were very young, I took full advantage of the holidays and kept a chart on the refrigerator door tracking their behavior for Santa Claus.  This worked as a bribery tool for about 3 weeks, during which I made a big drama about Christmas lists and gift potential.  Now they are older and multiple presents have been whittled down to one special package; so satisfying expectations is a … Read More
