Threatening Coal for Christmas
Tried this once but the kids said “what’s coal ?” with that disparaging ‘Mum’s so old fashioned’ look on their faces. Next time I said it would be a sack full of pine cones but they pointed out that they’re out of season. After saying it would be a sack full of snow and getting a cheerful “yay,” I gave up. Now I just threaten to stay up partying all night so he can’t find a moment to sneak in and deliver the presents,(realistic and it works a treat!”)
