Am I a bad parent for pulling the Santa Card - at this time of year

All I have to do is pick up the phone and say I'm calling Santa and she snaps right up and does what she is supposed to be doing or what I asked her to do. If she starts acting up I've been saying Santa Claus is watching you, you better be a good girl Am I a horrible parent?

lovemy2 replied: HA - I start that card on June 8th - the day after Olivia's birthday and then on December 26th I start with the Birthday card until June 8th where we go back to the Santa card Its a vicious cycle but my kid behaves all year round (well not really but it helps)

My2Beauties replied: So glad it's not just me! I use it every day at least 3-4 times a day right now! It's been so nice!
