He almost had an aneurysm when he saw him at the mall. I've never seen him this excited about anything...ok, except for maybe the time he saw Thomas the Tank Engine in person. For that, I'm gonna let him believe in it until he asks me if he's real. I luv Thomas "James Goes Buzz Buzz" made my son afraid of bees. | |

sammij said: i think kids need to know santa doesn't exist
but it makes for a great story to tell'em up until they're about like...7. I honestly never believed in Santa, and my parents never tried to pull that bullshit over on me in any serious way. As long as I can remember, both parties sort of played along with the whole St. Nick thing, but nobody really cared all that much. I think it's a cute story, but kind of fucked up to actually try to make a kid believe in it. "Look, Martha! Isn't it just precious how little Timmy swallows up everything we tell him? Just imagine the look on his face when we break it to him we've been bullshitting him all along! Won't it be cute, honey?" "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Yeah, I don't remember the talk with my parents about Santa, Easter Bunny etc. not being real. as I got older reality formed and I just knew it was just a story. And I actually was quite young when my French teacher tought us about St.Nick and who he was | |

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply "Santa" is a historical, legendary and mythological character believed by many children to bring gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.[1]
The popular North American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronunciation of Dutch Sinterklaas, which in turn is a contracted form of Sint Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas)[citation needed]. However, the Dutch Sinterklaas is depicted as being very different from Santa Claus in many ways. Santa Claus has a suit that comes in many colors depending on the country[citation needed]. The most common depiction (red with white cuffs, collar, and black leather belt) became the more popular image in the United States in the mid-to-late 19th century due to the significant influence of Coca-Cola.[2] Saint Nicholas of Myra is the primary inspiration for the Christian figure of Santa Claus. He was a 4th century Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity. In Europe (more precisely the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Germany) he is still portrayed as a bearded bishop in canonical robes. The relics of St. Nicholas were transported to Bari in southern Italy by some enterprising Italian merchants;[3] a basilica was constructed in 1087 to house them and the area became a pilgrimage site for the devout. Saint Nicholas became claimed as a patron saint of many diverse groups, from archers and children to pawnbrokers and prostitutes[4]. He is also the patron saint of both Amsterdam and Moscow.[5]. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...anta_Claus You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

There's been a grand total of zero kids who have been traumatized from learning Santa Claus isn't real lol ...As long as the presents keep coming each year they won't give a rat's ass. Not to mention exactly HOW mad would a kid be from learning that good ol' mom and dad have been the ones giving them the toys all those years?..."You mean YOU gave me that bike!! How dare you!!"... Yeah, right. | |

Yeah, right. I happen to know a few families whose kids didn't exactly take the news well. If so many don't care anyways, then why bother? I don't see the point in telling your kids Santa is real.
