Just do like people do in the Alpine countries and tell them that if they misbehave Krampus, Santa's demonic assistant, will beat them with branches and/or drag them to hell and eat them alive. Then have someone dressed as a demon come over and swing branches at them and demand treats.

If you're feeling a bit Dutch you can do something similar but replace the demon with black slaves and hell with Spain.

I thought it was six to eight black men and "Saint Nicholas will put you in a bag and pretend to kick you."

The antibiotics thing is a positive change, even if people's motivations there have nothing to do with the real reason loading up everything with antibiotics is bad. But the new panic about additives, preservatives, and GMOs is basically superstition.

We really haven't.

This is the most :3:

thing I've read in a while.

"Defecator, may everything turn out okay so that you can leave this place"

eta: gently caress it, I know I'm behind the thread, who cares
