As the glittery dawn of June sweeps across the globe, Santa’s behavior monitoring division is already noting a surge of early summer excitementâand with it, a colorful mix of mischief and magnanimity. From popsicle bribery to lemonade stand philanthropy, the spectrum of behaviors landing on the Naughty and Nice Lists is as diverse as a gumdrop rainbow.
đ Early Nice Highlights
The month of June has kicked off with heart-melting deeds from children far and wide. Our Scout Elves have submitted glowing reports from:
- Marcy L. in Vermont, who helped plant an entire butterfly garden at her local library. “The pollinators are proud,” commented Jolly Jangleboots, her assigned Scout Elf.
- DeShawn P. in Chicago, who started a toy-sharing rotation with kids on his block. “This kind of leadership earns bonus Nice Points,” confirmed Buttons McSprightly.
- Ling and Hui Z. in Toronto, who surprised their neighbor with handmade greeting cards after her surgery. Scout Elf Niblet Nogginspark reports: âTears. So many tears. Happy ones!â
đ Mischief Monitoring: Whatâs Trending?
As school lets out and free time abounds, mischief finds new avenues. Top Naughty List incidents this month include:
- Hose Hijinks:Â A group of siblings in Denver redirected the garden hose into their neighborâs open kitchen window. Their Scout Elf, Drizzle McTinsel, wrote, âCreative plumbing, questionable judgment.â
- Invisible Ink Escapades: A new spike in invisible ink prank kits has led to a wave of âwhoopee cushion-gradeâ mischief. One note read: âIf you can’t see it, it doesn’t count,â which Santa has since officially ruled as âincorrect.â
- Early Morning Popsicle Raids:Â Several children have been caught sneaking into the freezer before sunrise to eat frozen treats. Scout Elf testimony confirms an uptick in âblue raspberry mustachesâ before 6:00 AM.
These incidents, while mischievous, are being monitored with playful leniency. âItâs June. Kids are stretching their wings,â McSprightly remarked. âWe nudge them gently, not scold them harshlyâunless glitter glue is involved on walls. Then itâs a full investigation.â

đ§ Sweet Rewards Initiative Launch
To encourage early summer goodwill, Santaâs Behavior Bureau is launching the Sweet Rewards Initiative, where standout Nice Listers may receive a secret âcandy-gramâ from their Scout Elf. Each candy-gram includes a handwritten note and a virtual hug token redeemable in the Elf Village Arcade.
As Buttons McSprightly put it, âLetâs start summer off sparkling. Every giggle, every good deedâit all matters.â
