Christmas is a time of cheer and good tidings. It's a magical time for young children and it is to bad that political correctness causes people to turn into Grinches.
The super P.C. want to take God out of Christmas. The super conservative want to take the holiday spirit out of Christmas. Unfortunatly, the rest of the sane people get caught in the volleys while both sides pee in our punch.

I pretty much stopped believing it on my own when i found my presents in a closet.
I stopped in the 4th grade. I already had my doubts, but when I asked why there was an extra guitar chord by the front door, my parents kinda joked about santa f-ing up and having to go all the way back to get another. Their attitude sealed the deal.
My attitude to my 10 year old step daughter, has been sarcastic about him being real. I don't know how much she believes in it. I think she's come around for the most part. I'm not even talking about it this year, because I asked her if the easter bunny made any sense this year and it was a big deal to her mom. I just don't understand why its fun to believe in stupid lies. Kids can have just as much fun knowing its pretend. Isn't getting presents on Christmas and chocolate on Easter and just being around family fun enough?

it's not 'lies' :eek: its 'magic'. Let the kids have some bloody magic in their lives... why do we need to introduce them to reality so early??? That's bullshit... I personally LOVED the whole magic of santa thing... and I don't know ONE person who was fucked up by learning the truth. It's doing NO harm! :mad: there! Rant over!
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable

Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love

ha..yeah I agree..I wasn't really mad about finding out there wasn't a Santa. I understood it's what parents say to kids..it kind of makes xmas for kids. Im a pretty well adjusted adult. well sort of

I used to say it was an introduction to future lies. This guy watches over you and judges you. If your good you get a prize... sounds like what most christians think of God. Now I just think, why do we have to make some shit up to get kids into christmas? The presents, the family, the time off from school, the pecan pie, the celebration of Jesus's birth (if you like) is plenty. There is nothing about kids beliving in "magic" that makes it anymore special or cute. If they didn't believe in it, it'd still be a very special time of the year.

for me personally, my daughter believes in santa, we have never used the "be good and get gifts" routine. she understands that some gifts will be coming from her parents and some gifts come from santa.
her belief in santa and the expression on her face on Christmas morning,is the best present she gives without knowing it.
live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

i disagree so much with that statement.
my kids love the idea that there is a santa out there, who lives in the 'north pool' ... i dont do the whole 'if you've been bad you'll get nothing' trip on them either... as thats cruel... but i make footprints in fake snow around the chimney and leave a half eaten carrot and mince pie beside the fire... they love all that stuff... love it.
all kids love magic... even doing the penny behind the ear makes my kids giggle.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Damn Straight! Santa rules! Imagine how boring christmas would be without Santa. Not to mention all those in the red-hat business being made redundant.

genius idea.....i will leave the footprints also, if we have snow.

I disagree strongly... it's the magic that makes it MOST special. The best part of christmas is kids getting their gifts from santa. I'll miss having no kids around this year cos the fact that it's so magical for them... well, it spreads and makes it magical for everyone! It's a beautiful time of the year and I miss that magic.
Easter has all that you listed above... and yet it's nowhere NEAR as wonderful as christmas! Why's that? No santa! Simple!

Garuantee the kids' faces will light up just as much knowing that great gift came from you.

pfft, killjoy :(
And you're wrong there. The idea of a kindly magical old man dropping presents down a chimney is far more exciting to a child than the idea of their parents going to smyths and buying a lego set.

nah not really... I never fully fell for the whole story about a rabbit delivering chocolate eggs... even as a kid it made no sense! but the whole st. nicholas thing... well that was true, wasn't it? Lapland's a REAL place that exists and there actually ARE reindeer... it was foolproof.

exactly... what a silly thing to say... the kids aren't JUST in it for the gifts! The gifts are great... but the 'santa' thing is what makes it special.

BS. Easter does have the bunny. You don't get gifts for Easter. You don't get out of school for two weeks. For most people it involves more of a concentration on church, which usually sucks for kids. Kids would be just as pumped with out santa. Hell my 3 year old is pumped about Christmas and he's scared of Santa and doesn't want anything to do with him. He wants a Wall-E toy.

lol..well i actually believed in the easter bunny and the tooth fairy as well .
But yeah i think Santa was the best. But I thought he lived in the Northpole
