Of course, I have no authority with which to make this statement, but I think it’s silly to continue this stupid tradition of Santa Claus. I mean, what does Santa Claus mean anymore? What is the reasoning for this collective deception? Why do gifts need to be tied to the ethical behavior of children as judged by a fat white man in pajamas? Tell them that it’s in your hands, you hold the power over their puny lives, reindeer can’t fly, the North Pole is boring, chimney’s are dirty, and what the hell is lost? Nothing. What is gained? That boring conversation when they’re 6 or whatever. Even better if you can get your kids to smash the illusions of other fooled kids. Get it over with, and quick.
