Curious. If some fat guy comes down the chimney. Do we have universal hand signals to neutralize the threat?

Not sure what you’ve done to pi** him off, but you’re on your own, buddy. He’s been nothing but good to me.

We've never messed with santa or easter bunny at our house. Christmas and Easter are about Jesus.

Somehow, against alot of y'alls points above, my boys seem just fine with life and these holidays.

Thank you for ruining Christmas for me.

Let little kids be little kids. Let them use their imagination. There’s nothing in the world more exiting to little kids than Santa Claus and Christmas time…..:

They’ve got the rest of their life to face the realities of the real world

I stole this from a friend on FB.

ATTENTION TO ALL PARENTS WHO NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA 🎅
Son: "Dad, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?."
Dad: "Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?"
Brief pause...
Son: "Yes, I want to know"
Dad: "Ok, I'll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus"
Son: "Really?"
Dad: Yes, really, but he's not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That's just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he's not a person at all; he's an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn't thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.
When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she'd never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that."
Son: "Oh."
Dad: "So now that you know, you're part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?"
Help each other this Christmas🎄🎅 and...be kind ❤💕

This is a beautiful story that I missed this the first time around. I love it hope to use it myself one day. Thank you for sharing.

This is the type of response I was originally expecting. Thank you for taking the time to respond in the way that you did.

I think that we can be truthful in all things while keeping a persons feeling in consideration. It might require some careful thought, but it can be accomplished.

Let's take the classic example. Honey, do these jeans make my butt look big?
You might actually think that her butt does look big. Instead of saying that, you tell her I don't know about that but those jeans make you beautiful.

You can turn the situation around and respond without lying, you just have to think it out. If you can't respond without lying then don't respond. It's almost as if we have to re-train our mind to not lie because it has become so normal to tell a lie.

Santa Claus was a real person, he was St. Nicolaus, a priest that loved kids and gave all his money to the poor. Explain to children that is where the story of Santa Claus comes from and that over time it evolved into what we now see as Santa. No lies needed and they can still enjoy Christmas and everything that comes with it.

And this ideology is exactly what has sparked the REAL pandemic that's sweeping this nation, the woke revolution.

*Someone had to bring politics into the Santa Claus thread...
