Right?

But you would say it shouldn't come from Santa? right?

It should be indoctrinated into children from day one that they are recieving a government issued and approved toy because the government loves them, not their mommy and daddy?

Yes, I would say that. Besides, isn't Santa synonymous with big gubment in conservative speak? You know like, "Gee, where does Obama think he's going to get the money to pay for all that unemployment? Santa Clause?"

Do you have some traumatic childhood memories involving government spending bills or something?

The tradition of opening gifts from Santa pre-dates big gubment in conservative speak.

Obama thinks tax payer dollars are a gift from Santa - therefore explaining his spending spree.

Sorry, I am going to say I think it was wrong of the teacher to say what she did. If, during my teaching years, I had said such a thing, I would have expected the parents to turn into a lynch mob (figuratively speaking). Of course I do not condone the way the parents expressed their disapproval of what the teacher did. But really? Letting children believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy or the Easter Bunny is bad parenting? If so, then I am clearly a very bad parent ... I even lied to them by telling them their homemade cookies were delicious (even though they tasted like dirty salt) and that they looked "fabulous" when they dressed themselves up in every piece of tacky clothes and jewellry they could find in the dress-up trunk. :-/

And this is the type of mentality you want to instil in your children but then berate in liberals. How righteous.

I was about to ask you if you had some traumatic childhood memories of Santa breaking into the privacy of your home to leave gifts and raid the cookie jar.

It certainly beats indoctrinating a dependency on government.

Lily7 · 12-05-2011, 07:29 PM

I have a grudge against Santa. I mean, to start with, he somehow was always watching me. What a PERV. Then Santa scared my dog. Then to he left soot all over the living room, which my mom then blamed me for and I had to spend 2 days of my Christmas vacation cleaning the carpet. And he ate the cookies and drank the milk I left out for him, but didn't even bother to put the dishes in the dishwasher. So I got yelled at for leaving dishes out and had to wash dishes by hand. And all I got from the asshole was a pair of socks. I have never forgiven him.

Santa is a selfish, inconsiderate, privacy-invading fat bastard! DOWN WITH CHRISTMAS!

Lying about how good food is is a good way to piss me off.

It seems people confused with mystical Santa Claus and real Nicholas Claus. I know Nick Claus was once existed for sure.

Because y'all are too busy bashing the teacher to death over a slip-up she made about a mythical character.

I wonder if the kids feel like bashing her head in over her criticisms of their art work?
"Don't you know there is no such thing as what you draw?"
"WHAM!"

**Daredevel7** · 12-05-2011, 08:46 PM

I wonder what people think about the elf dolls?

For those who don't know anything about it: About The Magic Elf Christmas Tradition - Elf Magic
You have one elf doll that pops up between Thanksgiving and Christmas to "visit" the home. At night they "come alive" and "move around and play around". So the kids have to look for the doll in the morning to see what it's "up to". Examples: The doll would be found "eating in the cooking jar", "hanging from the ceiling fan", "playing the piano", etc. On Christmas, Santa takes back his elves.

Someone said that the spirit of Santa doesn't have to be ruined if the kids knew the truth, but, dude, there is no way in hell the fun that the elf doll brings would continue if the kid knew the elf was fake. What kid would continue to do the elf doll thing knowing it's fake?!

Personally, I think the elf doll thing is creepy. I mean.. "comes alive"?! Sounds like a horror movie... but my stepsister's kids love it so much that they look forward to the elf thing more than the presents themselves!
