Sportsmanship.....

I don't know about you but my kids are not very good losers!  Well I have one child who is pretty good but the other two pitch a fit every time they lose.  Makes game time not much fun. So our elves brought a game...Jenga....for them to play and have fun.  No crying and whining if they lose.  I'm hoping that the elves have more of an impact because I can't seem to get through to them.

The poem......

Your job today will be sportsmanship.
If you don't win there's no need to flip!

Play a few games, have lots of fun!
There's no need to keep score on this one.

Winning is fun but it's okay to lose.
How you behave, it's you who gets to choose.

Crying and screaming isn't the best choice.
There's no need for anyone to raise their voice.

Remember we're reporting to Santa every day.
He's about to start, loading up his sleigh!

So, if you want Santa to bring toys for you.
Have fun without the fighting, is all you have to do!!!

Love,

The elves placed the mailbox with the poem and the Jenga game under our snowman tree.  They decided to hide in the snowman tree, while our pet reindeer Cinnamon is standing on the snowman's top hat !
