Worrying about the holidays, Greg writes in his journal that he has to change his behavior to not get bad presents for Christmas. He complains about kids who's families who don't celebrate Christmas don't have to stress out and that he has a few friends like Chirag Gupta who act bit extra jerky just because they can and the fact that Santa knows when your sleeping, knows when your awake really creeps him out.
Then he also complains about a toy Susan brought out, Santa's Scout. To Greg, the toy doesn't let him repeat any of his usual antics to find out what his presents are and makes him be extra good when he's in the room with Santa's Scout so it doesn't report anything bad to Santa back at the north Pole but it probably doesn't matter because his brother Rodrick is constantly feeding bad information about him. Whenever he wakes up Santa's Scout is in a new place which he thinks is supposed to mean he traveled to the North Pole but he's starting to thing it's just Rodrick moving him.
