:( :( :(
Now the parents are gonna have to go the extra mile to prove there is one.
They are very impressionable both ways and the parents could say the teacher is wrong and an idiot and ask a fat neighbor (Like me :) ) to show up in a Santa outfit.
One of my grandsons,when he was about 5,was told by a friend that there was no Santa,that his parents were REALLY Santa.
He then said to his mother,” I knew he was wrong because you and Daddy would never leave us alone all night and go out and deliver gifts to children all over the world.”
Problem solved——and a true story.
.
Our kid’s were pretty old and they still believed in Santa. One year the oldest had heard in school that Santa wasn’t real. He convinced the other kids at school that he was real - but he still had some doubts and was questioning us.
Most of the year we were pretty cheap with the kids. Not going out and buying the latest stuff or giving them whatever they wanted.
“No Santa? What - you think Mom and I buy you all of the cool name-brand stuff? The latest toys and games? Really!?”
“Oh - yeah. I KNEW Santa is real!!!
Come Christmas morning I put the cookie crumbs on the carpet and even some ash and soot from the fireplace on the carpet.
The kids were up first, and when I came in the first thing I noticed was the mess, and started ranting about Santa, and then cleaning up the mess. Back in the day I was a bit obsessed about the carpet, and I figured that would add some credibility to Santa.
I think they went another few years still believing in Santa. Those were fun days when kids could just be kids.
#6. You’ve hit on something very interesting. How about you showing up at the school in a Santa outfit (as school is being dismissed and with the permission of the principal), and give each student a little bag of Skittles or something to brighten their day.
Then no one can deny that Santa 9in some form) doesn’t exist and that HE DOES bring presents to nice children.
The publicity of this effort would rock the US Left to the point that they and atheists would commit mass suicide or have their empty, hate-filled heads explode.
Maybe you could even rent a deer or two from a local zoo or farm and bring them along with a sleigh.
Wouldn’t that be something.
If you couldn’t do it at on school property, find a lot somewhere (a baseball field, etc), and do it there. Maybe some people would since Christmas carols too. Jewish kids and Moslem kids like Skittles too, so it would be very ecumenical.
Fun for all, except for the newly fired substitute, who was last seen trying to put coal in children’s Christmas stockings before a family dog got hold of her.
Why would you do that to a child? I never understood lying to kids about these mythical characters. I told all my kids at a young age that these mythical beings don’t exist. I told them the presents they get are from mom and dad because we love them and then went on to explain the origins of the fairy tales. I mean why lie to the kid, when he does get older and finds out the truth he/she might wonder why he was lied to by mom and dad for all those years. You think they might question other things you told them. Can they ever really be sure mom and dad is telling them the truth? But granted, it wasn’t the KG teachers place to tell them.
Maybe folks can use the “moving Elf” to help the kids...my daughter used one for years for my grand kids, and the young kids loved finding it in different places/poses when they go up in the mornings....
Someone needs to sent the parents a link to the Reindeer Cam; it’s a very neat look at Santa’s Reindeer hanging out and he even feeds them at certain times of the day!!
