Have you been naughty or nice?

Have you been naughty or nice?

During a recent visit with Santa Claus, I had the opportunity to ask Santa if he maintains records on ActiveRain bloggers to determine which have been naughty or nice. He assured me that his reports are up to date and has assigned a special assistant to read every blog.

I tried to obtain a copy of his list but was advised that his confidential records are not available for distribution.

So, you will have to be sure that your actions and your words have earned a position for you on the nice list. If fact, it may be a good time to write a few blogs on the nice things you have done this year.

Happy Holidays!

Didn't know Santa was a blogger! Hah! Well, he's pretty intuitive on the naughty/nice thing, so I don't think I need to tell him my good deeds. Let it remain a mystery.

You've been *FEATURED* IN TRAVELERS IN THE RAIN group!

Have I been naughty or nice? I suspect the answer to that would depend on who you ask!

Santa's helpers have been keeping very good records this year. Everything is now automated and they have results in a glance.

If Santa's so good at keeping records, maybe he should take over giving out points and fixing the current glitches.

Sadly, the repair of the ActiveRain points system is not part of Santa's goals. However, he may have a better impression of staff members being good if corrections are promptly made.
