  • Suzie I-get-up-and-have-to-go-pee-three-times-during-the-service is getting 1 lbs. of coal
  • Jimmy my-kid’s-screaming-is-not-heard-by-anyone-around-me is getting 1.7 lbs. of coal
  • Bob I-can-save-seats-I-really-don’t-need-for-people-who-will-come-very-late gets 2.4 lbs. of coal
  • Julie I-will-sing-as-loudly-out-of-tune-as-possible-to-get-noticed is getting 1 oz. of coal
  • Julie’s Mom who smiles with pride and encourages the obnoxious singing gets .5 oz. of coal
  • The kid who is thinking about burning the lady’s hair in the row in front of him with his candle–SANTA CAN SEE YOU KID!
