Hey, I find him a smart intelligent being. That makes him better than a lot of people. LOL Sarcasm and humor are not necessarily hiding places. They're usually a nice way of pointing out others flaws without just coming out and saying..."You're stupid".
My little girl is 8 years old (soon to be 9) and still wholeheartedly believes in Santa. You can call it a lie or deception or whatever you want but the joy and excitement it brings her every day is worth it - every day closer to Christmas she gets more and more excited. Since I'm fairly sure that this will be the last year she fully believes in Santa, I'm milking it for all its worth.
I know you weren't fletch, just using what you said to discuss it. I said it to show you how ridiculous it sounds. You are confusing "smarter" with "better".
Parents lie to there kids all the time. A list 1. Santa 2. Easter Bunny 3. Where do kids come from. 4.Never drank until I was legal 5. Still a virgin. 6. Never had detention. 7. straight A's all through school. 8. Never smoked weed. 9. Never smoked. 10. Never skipped out. Get my drift the Santa lie it's just to set the kids up for welfare. Somebody gives me free stuff
You forgot the best one "when i was your age i had 3 jobs and had to walk 10 miles barefoot in snow to get groceries" that one cracks me up!!
As an adult I take pleasure in the precious little time I get to spend watching my child be a child. Santa is just of the things that allows us as adults enjoy the nativity that we can no longer have.
Kind of funny how Non-Christians participate in a Christian Holiday and the spirit of giving.... Something that us spawns of apes should no nothing about, the only thing I've ever seen a ape give another ape was a face full of ****. Some kind of evolution that must have been.
Is Christmas a Christian holiday? Doesn't seem to be much religion in it anymore, and most of it's traditions originated from the Pagans.
Nice try, but your subsequent statements say otherwise .... not that I blame you for trying to back peddle with a statement like that ... Case in point...
