Christmas is just days away, meaning little ones will likely be on their best behaviour to secure their place on Santa's 'nice list'.
If they have been a handful, however, they might end up on the 'naughty list'. This could see them waking up to find a lump of coal in their stocking instead of presents.

They based this off of those who were unlikely to receive a Santa letter from them. It seems that the data falls in line with popular names, as when there are more people with the same name there is more chance that some will be on the naughty list, writes the Mirror.

"Being rude or nasty to people – especially mum or dad – will most definitely result in your name being added to the naughty list. Parents do so many amazing things for their children every single day, and Santa loves to see children appreciating mum and dad’s hard work!
