Omigosh Feon....I never seen you wrote that well in the OP b4, my opinion of you have changed.
It seems I share a rather different thought, I think that even a bad children should be able to celebrate christmas. For a child to be in a christmas celebrating family, every year would be filled with anticipation, and I believe that we shouldnt play any pranks nor give anything that "punish" the child. When Children do naughty stuff, you normally consult and punish them on the spot, why even recording it to evaluate for their christmas presents??
I dont feel it serves any educational purposes rather then bringing up old issues that have been settled, and forcing the child to be better next year when they probabbly forget it a few weeks later. Its Christmas, kids shouldnt be given a bad impression of it, at least at christmas, give them satisfaction, not to the extend of what you cant afford of course. They are just KIDS!
tl;dr? Dont turn christmas into a "yearly-evaluation" day, make it a day that you and your whole family can spend together happily.
I dont celebrate christmas here, but this is what my thought of christmas is...
really what was your dirst opinion??
