My mom used to tell me the smurfs lived in Eastern Europe somewhere, and i always hoped to see them when i travelled there...just made the show more enjoyable.And the same goes for Santa. I loved waking up in the morning to find the milk half-drunken and leftovers ofcookies and carrots on the table. I wasn't heartbroken when i discovered Santa didn't exist. It's just something you inevitably grow out of, y'know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glowgrlnyc Posted December 18 Report Share Posted December 18 Of course I'm gonna tell me kids to believe in him...It made my christmas' as a child special ...and when they grow up and start questioning if he's real, I'll say exactly what my parents told me, Santa is not physically here, but his spirit is here, with us, forever...

saigray Posted December 18 Report Share Posted December 18 Did anyone else find the concerned future parent topic an amusing counter-point to the fetish/leather dildos sig? Just wondering... Are you gonna tell them you were into S&M instead of Santa?My main problem with you telling your kid not to believe in Santa Claus, is then they will become that precocious brat in the kindergarden class that sits haughtily in the corner at snack time and tells all the other happy, imaginative, santa-loving kids that they have been LIED to by their OWN PARENTS, that they are FOOLS and CHILDISH and GULLIBLE (and to look in the basement closet for the santa wrapping)!!! and then all the other kids run home, crying and betrayed by those they loved the most, feeling the pain of having their youth snatched from them, and then all the other parents in class are going to leave angry, hurt messages on your answering machine and snub you at PTA meetings for the rest of elementary school...These are just some of the many reasons I don't want kids.

notallthere Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 If you tell your kids there is a Santa then you are also telling them that it is ok to lie. I mean i agree with bolth sides and its hard to pick one I think if I ever have kids ill tell them there is a santa because that's the best time of your life when you parents take care of you and you believe anything they tell you. Its only later you find out different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxlea Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 My most memorable "santa clause" memory was when I was around 7 or 8. My mom calling us (my sis & I) into the livingroom because she thought she heard a strange noise in the basement.(No chimney in the house, best alt. basemant). We heard the noise too, and automatically knew it had to be SANTA! Now how can you deny that joy to a 7 and 4 year old??The noise was my father stomping around, he manage to run quickly from the back entrance back upstairs just in time to walk us down to the basemant.What did we see? The play kitchenette we were begging and writing letters to Santa. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only later you find out different. There are plenty of things we have to lie to children about... I mean how else are they going to develop a sense of security? It's not like you can tell the cold, hard facts to a five year old... "Sorry Bobby, there's no such thing as Santa... and also, we didn't send Sparky to a nice big farm upstate to play with the other dogs, Daddy ran him over in the driveway one night when he came home piss drunk!"
