Santa

Out of curiosity, what do you guys think about parents telling their kids about Santa? Do you think they should expose the myth from a young age, or should they try and make their kids believe in Santa as long as possible?

Santa works for the government.

I'm sure I'll tell my kid about Santa, because didn't you have a kickass time when you were little at X-mas? I mean, some freakin guy brought you presents if you were nice. Little kids are innocent and should stay that way. Let 'em believe what they want.

I would probly tell them when they got into school, because other kids may be like "haha you beleive in Santa" and shit... kids are innocent? some can be demons

Ehh, I don't know. I would just feel like I'm lying to my kids unncessarily. I don't feel like I want to lie to my kids without a better reason.

I'd keep the myth alive until they stop believing on their own. If necessary I'd strap a few pillows to my torso, put on a giant red suit and beard, and pay them a visit.

As Thanatos said, you have so much fun at Christmas waiting for Santa, why spoil it for the little 'uns?

Yeah, I'd tell em. It makes the holidays so much more fun for them.

obviously, if u tell them about santa, u have o tell them about the easter bunny and tooth fairy. I will tell my kids and make them as happy as i am around christmas. Out of habit, my parents still sign some of my gifts from santa. And like lenny said, id go and get a suit and jump through my chimmney if it meant keeping it alive.

god is santa for grown ups

And athiesm is a fad

Doubtful.

And athiesm is a fad

So true. The whole country is getting into it man. All the celebritys are doing the athiest thing and liek they had to ban athiesism manuals from all the middle schools. Its freaking huge, and it just popped up recently, and it will soon dissapear. Ya athiesm is a fad... like YoYos!

I remeber yoyos... btw when I was young my mom told me that santa wasnt real only thing they really told me was about the tooth fairy but then I found all my teeth in a medicine bottle one day and put it under my pillow... didnt get any money after that..

I dont beleive in shit... but christmas is fun as shit. I don't see the relation between xmas and jesus... its not really his bday, no one gets "jesus" shit anyways execpt you'll see that scene in some peoples yard, and some go to church. other than that... xmas is a free for all holiday IMO

Some kid at my neices school told her that Santa wasn't real, and her exact words to him were "He's real if you believe in him, so shut up because you don't know anything."

THAZ MUH GURL, Y0!

Anyway, there's a guy at work who looks a lot like Santa, and whenever the kids see him they always point and go "Hi Santa!". I think it's cute, so yeah. I'll tell them Santa is real. It's nice to be able to believe that there's something positive in the world when you're that age, something apart from all the violence on the tv and sometimes even around you in the real world.

I'd probly tell my kids early, tell them that I represent the idea of Santa and they better bee good all year or they aint gettin good presents.

Yeah that's pretty much what I'll tell my kids.

I'll probably do something like that, too.

I'd tell them they have no presents because a black man jumped santa

Are you also going to tell them to join the KKK?

But seriously, if you tell them that no santa exists, they may also ruin it for other kids.
