“This year I will get a kick out of the pure excitement coming from my great nephew and great niece.”

Lucky you———my grandkids are all young adults-——I didn’t even know you could track Santa.:-)

A teacher told the truth!!!! She taught the truth!

Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny really do exist - in the same way that any anonymous gift-giver exists.

That's what I told each of my children as, one by one, they realized what was going on.

What this substitute teacher did was akin to squealing on the person who sent someone flowers or donated money anonymously. It wasn't her business. Hope she didn't ruin everyone's fun.

Are sub’s listed in the staff pages?

This, in once conservative Republican Morris County, now invaded by hoardes of DemocRats pouring from the sewers and alleys of NY City

I remember when I found out in the first grade that there was no Santa, I could not wait to go home and impress my little sister with how grown up and sophisticated I was. She did not believe me.

Unbiblical. God clearly teaches his truth needs to be taught at the very beginning.

Indeed.

We’ve told our kids much of what she told the class. We decided that we want our children to know that what we tell them is true. When we tell them about Jesus, we do it because he is real. We still have money left by the “tooth fairy”, presents in stockings, etc. but the kids know it’s just a game.

That said, I would never, ever tell anyone else’s child that what their parents told them wasn’t true.

That’s Exactly what we did and for the same reason. I asked one of the older kids if he felt bad about never believing in Santa and he said he was glad that he could always trust us. Despite having fairly different upbringings, neither my husband nor I ever believed in Santa so not encouraging that fantasy with our kids made sense to us.

Teaching about God and really understanding the truths are different in my experience.

If the kids asked, I would have told them that Santa Claus is as real as climate change and left it at that.

Liberals hate competition. They trash God and of course Santa. Can’t have someone else giving away s&^% for free, that’s their job.

No, you go deal with it, Grinch.
