6 days until Christmas: The Naughty and Nice List

‘Twas the week before Christmas, and you wouldn’t believe, the McCauley Communications Team got an email from the Jolly Man himself with a new trick up his sleeve! Santa wants to share what goes into preparing for the biggest Holiday of the Year! Join us and Santa for the countdown to Christmas Day! As told to Social Media Manager Loren McCauley.

Today, Mrs. Claus and I reviewed the Naughty and Nice List. I've read my lists and checked them twice. The naughty list was as long as I can ever remember, but we have a much longer list of nice! All children — even those on the naughty list — will receive a special gift on Christmas (Although I had to think long and hard about Little Johnny in Nebraska!)!

Mrs. Claus outdid herself again with these fantastic gingerbread cookies.

The elves, with their 40/40 vision, double-check the list to ensure its accuracy. They don’t miss a thing. I don’t know what I would do without them! Mrs. Claus, as always, provided us with delicious gingerbread cookies to energize us during this meticulous task. I think she must have put sweet magic dust in them. They get better every year.

While we had some down time, Mrs. Claus and I were chatting about world events. Every year, it seems, there is something new, and I get to see everything up close, albeit for a very short time. In the last century, we had two World Wars. I watched from my magic globe, and it made me sad. But alas, joy prevailed, even on the battlefield. And eventually, there was peace on Earth.

Yet, it seems like there’s a lot of misunderstanding going on in the world. If only everyone could see what I see firsthand. Every child innocently wishes for something good, a toy, a better life for their parents, that their sick friend will get well. Deep down, we are all very much the same.

In the words of sweet Cindy Lou Who in that beautiful town of Whoville, “No matter how different a Who may appear, he will always be welcomed with holiday cheer.”

Hold Cindy Lou’s words her words in your heart this week.

Love,

Santa
