Fess up: How many times have you threatened 'No presents!' ?

[StarlightWonderStarlightBright]

Only about 4 times, but dh has done about 10 times today alone

Kids still not in bed! (4 and 2)

Practically every hour this week

approx. 47,893.

About the same as you.

"Father Xmas won't come if you don't behave / leave your room in a mess / don't get in your pj's / aren't asleep....."

Mine are asleep now (thank God). I psyched them up a bit too much .

Although Father Christmas still needs to get his arse into gear and stop watching Peep Show and get the presents ready

Erm.... just a few times, mostly today

About 10 mins before bed tonight.dd1 left an apologetic letter to Santa. Neither apologised to us without prompts. Still tempted to leave stockings outside their door rather than on the bed

It's the only thing I have said since the begining of December.

In fact I got so fed up saying it to my DC's I just made a sign so I don't have to communicate with them at all!

I cancelled Christmas completely yesterday but it appears to be back on for the moment

Phew, not just me then!

Mine are teenagers so Santa has less sway in my house

Have told them they will be getting a lump of coal each if they keep on being lazy, aggravating, lippy etc.

If it wasn't so bloody cold, I'd actually go to the shed to check if there's any left from the barbecue.

That'd learn 'em

about 80 times today!!! and it still didn't work!!

DS1 is in line for about 500 brussels sprouts in his stocking based on our rule "If you're naughty, Father Christmas takes a present out of your stocking and leaves a brussels sprout instead" - in fact, the world probably doesn't hold enough sprouts.

Before today 0, but bloody hell they have really driven me to distraction today and christmas has been cancelled quite a few times.

I left them coal!

They didn't take me too seriously though. Should've wrapped it.

Merry Christmas

Nah, never done that one. Never threaten anything I won't actually do.

I have threatened to eat all their Christmas chocolates though... Quite prepared to gob through witness that one

Gob through witness?

Go through with this.....

ah here we have devloped a new familt tradtion and no its not for everyone.But it was deiced if anyone had been naughty then the reindeer was filling the stockings not santa .
