Each year, millions of parents lie to their children and blackmail them into behaving well in exchange for being put on Santaโs โniceโ list.
Thereโs even a holiday song that warns children of Santaโs โlistโ and that they better be good so they wind up on the right side of that list.
You know the oneโฆ โSanta Claus is Coming to Town.โ In recent years, parents around the world have even enlisted the help of Santaโs elves to act as 24-7 spies for Santa. These elves, like Elf on a Shelf, are placed in homes from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve to monitor the behavior of the children.
If the children misbehave, the elves make sure they report their bad behavior right away. But itโs Santa who ultimately decides who will be put on his โnaughtyโ list to received a lump of coal or his โniceโ list to receive presents on Christmas morning.
Rachel is one little girl who is definitely on Santaโs โniceโ list.
And with Rachelโs intervention, she hopes that her brother will be on that list too. But first, she had to do a little convincing. Rachelโs little brother had been naughty all day long and their mother explained that this would likely land him on the โnaughtyโ list.
But Rachel would have nothing of the sort! She begged and begged her mother to make a plea to Santaโs elves so that her little brother would be put on Santaโs โniceโ list. And sheโs pretty convincing!
โI think heโs on the naughty list,โ Rachelโs mother says. โHeโs been awful naughty tonight.โ
โNo!โ the headstrong little girl tells her mother. โI donโt want him.โ
When her mother asks why she doesnโt want her brother to be on the โnaughtyโ list, she has the sweetest response.
โBecause Iโm his big sister!โ she says. โIt means I donโt want him too! I donโt want him to!โ
Rachelโs mom asks Rachel what she wants her to do about it.
โI want him to be on the good list. Change him on the good list,โ she tells her mom directly.
Rachel acknowledges that her mother doesnโt make the list and itโs Santa that calls the shots.
So, she asks her mom to put in a good word for her brother with the elves.
โThe elves do that! They do. I want my brother to be on the good list!โ she says.
Finally, her mother agrees and says sheโll call the elves a little bit later. This little girl is as kind as she is cute! You can watch her adorable plea in the video below.
