Quoted:
At Birth. Why lie to them and then tell them you were a liar for 5-6-8-10 years 
Thats idiotic. I hold no ill will towards my parents for "lying" And my kids hold none towards me. Sheesh , its a nice holiday tradition that hurts no one. Idiotic is lying to you children 
And.............You say it hurts nothing. How does it benifit in any way?? Any kid with common sense will figure out you a liar by age three anyways. |

Quoted:
My children have been taught from the get go that we celebrate Christ that day, not santa. They have never believed in santa. That's what I'm talking about....Way to go DAD! We did the same thing. It wasn't real popular with the grandparents. If I'm going to teach my kids not to lie I need to lead by example. It's great when they come home and tell you how stupid the kids are at school |

both kids figured it out by 9 years old ...
it's when they started discussing it in school ... rapracing is one of those parents who's daughter gets knocked up at 13 because her parents took the easy route of just telling their kids the truth instead of using pleasant traditions to instill a sense of charity and kindness ... kind of parents who raised river pheonix ... |

It's great when they come home and tell you how stupid the kids are at school Not only have I raised my kids to believe in Santa, I raised them to NEVER "come home and tell me how stupid the kids are at school". In fact, if my kids DID "come home and tell me how stupid the kids are at school", they would receive some needed guidance -thankfully, this won't be necessary. The magic of Santa and the Christmas Spirit is the exact OPPOSITE of judging and labeling his fellow children as "stupid". |

Couldn't think of anything intelligent to say so you revert to insults and trash talk

My kids say, "Santa is not real, Christmas is about Jesus"! |

BAH HUMBUG!
I'm going to lie to my kids for maybe 10 years and get them to believe that a dude in a fancy red suit with a sleigh full of gifts and 8 flying reindeer will decide who's naughty or nice and deliver gifts only to nice children all around the world in a single night. OR I'm going to lie to my kids for all of their life and get them to believe that a dude in the sky watches over you, but never answers you, and decides who's naughty or nice and takes all the nice people up into the sky to live with him on clouds where you can see all your dead relatives again and worship the dude for all eternity. FUCK YOU - I'll do BOTH. Mind your own damn business. Trolls... the lot of you. |

A honest politician a lawyer with a conscious and Santa were standing in a elevator. They all noticed a 50 dollar bill lying on the floor. Which one picked it up?
Santa hes the only one that exist 
I realized Santa didnt exist when I got a gift from him with a price tag. |

I dont teach my kids to believe in Santa. Its all a myth anyways.
I also make sure to tell them at night how fucked up the world is and at the age of 7 teach them how kids are raped and murdered sometimes at night in their rooms. Why lie to them. It happens...I am certain that this too is good for them to know....
Kids are supposed to be kids in my opinion. Let them learn the truth about life at a later date. Now it is time to be kids. |

My 3 yr old has nearly completed the Kindergarten curriculum, and she is super excited for Santa. Their pure excitement, wonder, and joy is every reason to do it. Sooo - STFU or go troll somewhere else. |

When all the dreams of children
Once lost will all be found That's all I want When Christmas Comes to Town This kind of sums up how I feel about Christmas. It's the one time of the year, that no matter how old you are, you remember what it's like to be a kid again. The pure joy you see on kids faces when they rip into a gift, and for that brief moment, all the bad in the world goes away. I'll let my children(when I have them) believe in Santa for as long as they want, and when they stop believing, or ask me about Santa I'll try my best to teach them this. |
