Invariably the questions of the good list comes up as a qustion from a child and at times, as a Santa, we ask the child if they have been good. Many will instantly say "Yes," but there are times in which they may stammer or even confess a small indiscretion, like not picking up their clothes, or fighting with their brother/sister. It is important to encourage them to be good at all times and as a Santa it is important to leave them with some sort of goal to strive for. Encoruage them that there is a way to always be on the Good List. The way to to that is to make them take the Six Pillars of Character oath. Six Pillars of Character 1. I promise to be a kid for Character. 2. I will be worthy of trust. 3. I will be respectful and responsible, 4. I will do what I must. 5. I will always act with farness. 6. I will show that I care Once they have taken the oath, announce that if they follow these rules they will always be on the Good List.
