For parents celebrating the holiday season, finding creative ways to encourage good behavior can be a welcome relief. Instead of the usual threats like “I’ll take away your Christmas gifts,” some parents take it a step further by involving Santa directly. This innovative approach was recently shared by a mother who has a knack for humor and parenting.
Meet Jenna Lawson
Jenna Lawson, a mother and comedian who co-hosts a popular online series, devised a clever technique one evening when her children, ages 3 and 5, were causing chaos during the dreaded bathtime routine. In a moment of inspiration, she changed her sister’s contact name to Santa Claus in her phone. Then, she asked Siri to send a message to Santa. To her children’s surprise, Siri responded, “What would you like to say to Santa Claus?”
Jenna quickly took advantage of their attention and texted, “Evelyn is being quite naughty and is making a fuss during bath time. Please consider this when deciding on her gifts.” Her sister, now playing the role of Santa, texted back, saying, “Please let Evelyn and Noah know that they can still be on the nice list if they listen to their mom.”
A Fun and Harmless Approach
This creative method is an effective way to remind kids that Santa is always watching without resorting to more extreme measures. Many parents have tried various techniques to keep their children in line during the holiday season, but this one stands out as both fun and harmless.
While some parents turn to products like Santa Cams that resemble surveillance devices, which can create unnecessary anxiety about being constantly watched, Jenna’s approach offers a gentler reminder. Just be cautious about who you enlist for this Santa role; a sarcastic partner might add humor but could also undermine the message. For example, if a grandma is sending messages, you might end up with replies like, “Those kids are precious! Give them all the cookies!”
