The document warns children to be on good behavior as Santa Claus is coming to town and making a list to check who has been naughty or nice. Santa sees children when they are sleeping or awake and knows if they have been bad or good, so children should be good for goodness' sake. The document repeats that Santa is coming to town and children should not cry or pout but instead be warned that he is watching their behavior.
