Elf on the Shelf idea for kids who are misbehaving -- Dear (name), Last night when I went back to the North Pole, I didn't have a lot of nice things to tell Santa. Santa was sad to hear about your bad behavior. (List specifics if needed). Remember... good behavior puts you on the nice list and bad behavior puts your name on the naughty list so be good for goodness sake! Love, Mr. Elf
