Yes,
I SAID IT! People...why ohh why would you tell your children, whom you claim you love, an outright lie like that? Honestly, why?
You know that Santa Claus does not exist and that it is YOU yourself who leaves the presents under the tree, YOU who eats the stupid cookies, and that there is, beyond any doubt what so ever, no jolly-fat-man who flies down from the North Pole. So why lie? Don't you feel in the least bit guilty?
To make matters worse, the same parents who say "Santa is coming!" are the very same parents who tell their children, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, that there are no monsters in their room when they turn the lights off.
WTF! Ever hear of Shadow Beings?
Shadow people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Highly unlikely, yes...but still, there is a possibilty of there actually being some demonic and/or interdimensional bad guy in junior's room, but there
is no chance that Santa is real, because you yourself are Santa Claus. But, what do the parents say to their kids? That the monster in the closet, despite actually there being some possibility of existing, is false, but Santa, which we know is not real, is indeed coming to town. Why?
Want to make your kids happy? Tell them that YOU got them the damn presents, and not some supernatural stranger. And please don't feed me that "you don't have kids so you can't understand" rubbish, because I was a kid and was lied to for years too...and what did my parents tell me was their reasoning?...because they "loved me"
Anyway, I let me nephews know that Santa was fake from day one, and my sister agreed...but, when my one nephew told me that there was a monster in his room when we lived in the same house, I didn't deny what he said, I just let him sleep for one night in my room and the next day I got a small metal mallet, put a blow torch to it along with a couple of old silver dinner forks and knives and, after a few hours and almost burning myself, I had it covered in silver (didn't look pretty, but it did the trick). I gave it to him, told him, honestly, that most folklore says monsters can be harmed by siver and told him that if he ever saw any monsters that he only had to give them a what-for with the hammer and
PRESTO! He slept with that hammer until he was about ten-ish and the kid was empowered...
Unlike the parental Santa
LIE, which makes kids feel like they've been had, I told him a
myth and never actually said one way or the other if monsters were true or not, and he felt empowered.
Want to tell your kids something about Christmas, if you celebrate it? Why not tell them about a fellow named
JESUS CHRIST and not some BS about a jolly fat man. Granted, I know Christ was not born on December 25th, but it is as good a time as any to tell your kids, if you're Christian, about him and not some stupid dork at the shopping mall.
Choose
myth over
lies, and your kids will thank you for it later.
