Discipline in December

As a parent I have come to enjoy disciplining in December. My favorite discipline statements, "Stop!", "Go sit at the table", and "Do you want a spanking?" have now been replaced by, "Santa's watching." and "Do you think Santa likes that?" The best thing is that there is no argument after the fact and the kids act ten times better. It's actually gotten to that point that Robby will now point out when he is doing something good. It's like "Scared Straight" for preschoolers. My vote is to implement Christmas as a year long holiday, we're close enough to it as it is. It makes parenting so much easier. Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"
