I have always wondered what ratio of naughty:nice tips the balance on one side or the other. Santa's list seems awfully binary

I knew a kid in school who was poor or jewish... not really sure now that I think back about it... But he thought it was a scale and the better you are the better present you get, then it goes the opposite way into no present, then if you're really bad you get coal. He would always try to be as horrible as possible during the holiday season in hopes of getting coal. But he never had such luck.
