Yes.

Ah, but which question are you answering MeDeFe - the question or the paranthetical question?

Yes.

Sorry, I mean "both".

When Mummy and Daddy have a special kiss, one of three things happens. One, you get a new brother or sister. two, father Christmas comes. Three, If everything goes to plan, nothing happens!

The reason Father Christmas only comes once a year is because Mummy and Daddy don't get enough time for special kisses because you are always wanting to take up our time with stupid shit like going to the park or playing with toys.

If you went to the park a bit more on your own so that Mummy and Daddy had more time for special kisses, maybe father Christmas might come more often.

Now do Daddy a favour and go wait at the bus stop for a 97 or 158 bus. Take your teddy bear and play in the park you selfish, self centred little shit!


She went to the bus stop on Friday and she's still not come back. (She must be having a hell of a lot of fun!) I know I am ;)

I told my kids that Santa Claus was gay and had an orgy with all his elves before Christmas Eve. Of course my wife divorced me, but at least I was able to tell the truth that Santa was a big fat old gay guy. I think my children will grow up better knowing that Santa is out of the closet. It seems to put everything into perspective and prepares them for real life in the real world.

One reason to continue the myth... societal expectations. Do you want your kid to be ostracized at school cause he/she doesn't believe? Do you want to NOT get invited to social gatherings because your kid is gonna tell the other kids "there's no such thing" as Santa? It could happen.



About a million reasons why this is wrong, but I can't be bothered going into them.

However, every single fucking year the teacher would ask everybody in front of the class to tell them what they got for christmas. And every year I said 'Nothing, my parents don't celebrate christmas'. The other kids couldn't give a f*ck, never ever mocked me about it, and so on.

Well it has worked for when my parents and siblings would say that I should be good so that Santa will bring me something good for Christmas, and I am certain that would work until of course some kill joy would go out and proclaim that Santa is dead or did not exist at all. But when you get things to play perfectly well, you will have a kid who will submit to good deeds.

I'm not saying it's "right" or not... I'm saying that it may happen.

If one of my kid's friends didn't celebrate Christmas then I would not invite them to our Christmas Party. Not even to be mean... but also so I wouldn't offend them. The child would therefore have fewer opportunities to interact with their friends.

I don't think any smart Teacher would do what you said happened to you. Regardless of whether or not the kid (family) celebrated Christmas. Also however to avoid issues related to one kid getting a new (ENTER LATEST GREATEST MOST EXPENSIVE TOY)...and another kid getting a used Atari.

That said... I don't know where you are from... but wouldn't your friends wonder why Santa didn't visit you? I went to a Catholic school and 100% of my friends (as a kid) where Christian... so everyone believed in Santa. My kids go to a very diverse school... many kids there are Jewish, and they have a small Muslim population. I am sure there are other beliefs as well.

I am surprised my daughter hasn't asked my yet why her friend "so-and-so" (who happens to be Jewish) doesn't get presents from Santa.
