AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
What would it fetch?
There is no sanity clause!
yea right (its a joke )
I like Santa: but when he goes "ho, ho, ho" I wonder which chick he is talking about.
It's true that I was a child then, but nothing I have learned since has convinced me I should do what my parents did. Quite the opposite. My immature reaction has blossomed into full-blown rebellion against dishonesty in all matters.
All three of them.
The real tragedy is that you don't appear to have the perspective and good grace your mother had.
My mother said I was free to not believe in Santa whenever I wanted to stop receiving presents. I still believe... In Corin. :~)
If you believe in Santa, you don't need no stinkin' clause.
Santa knows when you've been practicing your spelling."
Now who doesn't like a nitpicker? [Santa]
Use the power of Santa responsibly :~)
For that time, in those circumstances, with everyone going wacko over Santa, my mother was right. She always tried very hard to fit into American culture and to give her children a proper American life as she saw it.
Of course she was right. :~) Now you're making progress!
You are so freakin condescending I can't believe it! (Just being honest again.) >:)
Honesty is not always the best policy :~)
I still believe and always will.
My parents "didn't do" Santa with us. They said they wanted us to focus on giving presents, not recieving them, and enough of us were skeptics about things I'm not sure how long it would have worked anyway. I don't feel like I miss anything. Though I wonder if cutting out Santa was just a way to avoid needing two sets of presents for seven children :-)
My littlest brother knows Santa is real though. Santa comes to his school in a helicopter every year. Of course, Santa always gives out pants. No matter how much he tells us Santa will bring toys, he always ends up with pants. It's sort of funny though. He has mental retardation and can't always tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and he knows that the possibility of someone giving out toys is nothing to be skeptical about!
Me, I think Santa's creepy. He's got a list of every kid and where they live, he's watching, he has the ability to be anywhere in the world in one night, he's got that whole Elf exploitation thing going, to say nothing of the flying getaway vehicle...
They said they wanted us to focus on giving presents, not receiving them
Now that we're older we all write from Santa on most of the presents, because it's about giving presents, not getting 'credit' for them. :~)
