So basically you are pissed at a fictitious character and too afraid to tell your kid the truth due to peer pressure and a societal trend in seasonal advertising and marketing.

Grow so balls Mask.
Or pick some of your Xmas tree and try 'em on.

P.S.
You can tell your kids that you bought them the presents, you know. Because you love them.
Love works any time of year bro, you think your Kid will give a # about some fat dude in a red suit when he/she hears dad say "These are from me, I love you, merry christmas".

I'm of to make a viral youtube video "Leeeeeeeave Santa Alone, he's a human".


All you people want is more, more, more presents, Leeeave Santa alone.

jesus, santa is dead and yet they control us every day, money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money ..

And I thought I was just a really bad boy these past few decades, cause I didn't even get a lump of coal in my stocking.

So what this article is saying is the Santa really doesn't exist?

Now this is a classic phrase I will not soon forget from Mr Mask, but I have to agree with you it's gotten way out of hand. The essence of the Holidays have lost the true meaning.

you are basically abusing parents and children all over the world, molesting cheer and kicking "morality" in the genitals as you help line the bottomless pockets of those who "farm us all" with unnecessary amounts of cash.

Wow. Is the glass half empty or half full? In your case.....let me guess.
Maybe take a walk outside for a while, look at the trees and the blue sky, and get some fresh air.

You know you don't "have" to tell your children that Santa Clause is real. Maybe just tell them that Santa and the North Pole are a nice make believe story that people like to tell each at Christimas time because it feels nice. Sheesh.

I heard Santa cheats on his wife as well.
And while we're at it,

That was the funniest thing I ever read. And while it was a nonsensical rant, it did make some great points. I can't believe he went from a kind saint/hero to jolly old fat bastard.

So on a lighter note,
what do you all want for Christmas this year?

F*k the easter bunny

I've heard she gets lots of toys for xmas, that's not cheating though.

You like jiggy with bunnies? Each to their own I guess, as long as the bunny is consenting.

I have noticed that many folks here (pro-Santa or no-Santa alike) have taken the time to wish me a Merry Christmas. I would like to put all bah humbugging aside for a moment to do the same and say-

TO ALL ATS MEMBERS, small or big, rich or poor, religious, agnostic, atheistic or whatever you may be, weather your celebrate a holiday around this time of year or not-

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU and YOUR FAMILIES and FRIENDS!

I hope its a wonderful time of year for you!

All love, hugs and bugs in your coco mugs!

You could take your son out to look at lights and decorations and explain to him these things, along with fa
ily and gifts bring joy and happiness to some peoples lives, while to others the holidays bring sadness. Some people believe their is a God who had a son named Jesus and Christmas is a day some people use to celebrate the day of his birth. Some people believe in Santa Clause, a man who brings good boys and girls gifts on this day. Some people believe in Jesus and not Santa, some believe in both, some people believe in UFO's, and some believe in none of these. Tell him as he gets older and wiser he will form his own opinion as to what he believes, but that the opinion you formed was that Santa is not real. Explain to him that even if a word or symbol can't be seen it can have a meaning. That doesn't mean something does or doesn't exist just that sometimes it may take a different shape or form than we expect. People used to think the earth was flat but now know it is round. Some people say love doesn't exist but I bet to your son it does. The word love is a symbol for many things just as Santa, Christmas, Jesus and UFO's are to different people. Show him a box and explain to him the difference between what's inside and outside. What is inside the box we know for sure but what is outside is questionable. As we go through life we should be wise and always examine and question what is in and outside of the box and what is there can change. Tell him you decided that Santa is a symbol to some but you don't think he exists the way some people do and he needs to spend a few more years figuring out what he believes but to not just always go with anothers opinion but to formulate his own.

By this point your son will probably say something like 'you are getting grey hair dad' leaving you to wonder what was the point. But you will feel better that you gave your opinion while encouraging him to develop his own.

I understand that you don't want to pepetuate a lie but we also need to allow little minds to imagine, fantasize and be creative.

I just found out more about Santa...


I should have known.

Thanks for the advice...yknow, a lot of folks have given me good advice on here about this whole Santa-lying thing. I want everyone to know I appreciate it, and thank you all for that. Who knew bashing the big-fat-fake-figment would actually reap rewards in the form of parental advice?

Go figure.

But really...Santa still sucks.

And really...thanks all!

I enjoyed your rant.. laughed aloud at several points.

I have to clarify a point, however-

The feast of St. Nicholas is actually celebrated tomorrow, December 6. He is still recognized as the Patron Saint of children and lived in 4th century Turkey. He was beloved for his generosity and incredible giving, and his most widely spread story of generous giving was his giving of three bags of gold to a poor father who was unable to support his three daughters.

Unfortunately commercialism latched on to these and similar stories of St. Nicholas' generosity, giving birth to "santa claus" with his "big bag" of goodies.

Rant on, my friend!
