 Santa seems to be a really emotional subject still for a lot of people. My original comment was made quite casually. I should clarify that  Official Kayaking Gets Me Wet Vintage Retro Shirt I'm not suggesting we cancel Christmas. The issue I have is that we generally feed kids this idea that there is a godlike figure who will pass judgement on how good or bad you are, but then doesn't even follow his own rules, because he gave your bully more gifts than he gave you. I am not in denial that shitty things still happen to good people either. It's a big hot topic in schools right now to help children be resilient and we do that whenever opportunities arise.

 I think this value being widely shared throughout the community back then made it so that more "Santas" showed up for kids like you  Nice I’m A Louisiana Girl I’m Not Perfect But I’m Limited Edition Shirt with gifts that were special, instead of "oh I bought the cheapest shit off the shelf and dropped it in the collection bin, so I'm awesome". It's just how society changes over time, so it's nobody's fault, but I can't help but believe the reason so many kids have and will continue to be left out when it comes to Santa is because fewer people "believe" in being Santa to others these days.

 I totally get the thought behind this but for our family we do the opposite. Not only do I A) want credit for the gift they've been wanting  Love Men Who Wear Masks Properly Will Eat Your Pussy Shirt  all year but B) my heart breaks when other kids that are less fortunate wonder why santa didn't bring them what was on their wish list. I was that kid. I'm one of 6 and our Xmas gifts were donated from the church and were labeled with our sex and age. (Boy age 8, girl age 10). I wish everyone did this so kids never had to wonder if they weren't good enough throughout the year.

 Santa has the advantage of displacing the blame (dont be mad at me, its Santa you have to worry about) and being all-knowing (Santa will  Hot I Had The Right To Remain Silent Being A Danish I Didn’t Have The Ability Shirt know what you do even if you hide it from me). We just tell our kids that "Santa is just a fun thing people like to pretend about, like unicorns and affordable healthcare." I know when I was a kid my parents weren't well off at all and loved budgeting so whenever I got a toy or anything it would be something cheap and small. Every Christmas i would say "Im asking Santa for this because I know it's too expensive" And "Santa".

 Fun fact, that's exactly the opposite of Christianity as Christ teaches it. I don't understand why so many 'christians' have given rise to this 'good  Happy I’m A New York Girl I’m Not Perfect But I’m Limited Edition Shirt point, bad point' system. The whole point that Jesus actually talks about is that we all have more bad points than good ones, we are innately selfish creatures, and Jesus' death is the payment we deserved for our 'bad points'. That's why 'grace' is such a huge word in Christianity...every christian should realize they're not a 'good person', but they've accepted the grace of someone else paying the price for their bad points.  Buy it:   Happy I’m A New York Girl I’m Not Perfect But I’m Limited Edition Shirt Diamond  Trending Shirt This Is Season  Warmtees-Custom-Tshirt 

 When I was a kid and had already figured this out, I still had siblings who hadn't, and I still had friends who hadn't. One friend was finally  Great Christmas Mountain Sloth Knitting Cute Shirt sat down by his mom who spilled the whole story, and he then related it to me. His biggest concern was for when we were grown and parents ourselves, what a disaster it would be if we still didn't know the truth and so we never gave our kids presents from Santa."I'm sorry Billy, I don't know why Santa never stops here.

 According to my mother I asked if Santa really brought the presents when I was about 5 and she always went for "well the parents DO help  Good I Had The Right To Remain Silent Being A Dutch I Didn’t Have The Ability Shirt him a lot. wink" and it seems I got it from then on.

 Your mom is nice than my mom. Haha the day we came home and started questioning her about Santa she said "Well, if you dont believe  Funny I Got Your 6 Bro Some Phrases Make You Willing To Walk Into Hell Shirt in Santa then Santa won't give you any gifts." Meaning if we kept believing in Santa we would get more gifts. Even in my 20's I "still believe", mostly just for the laugh of it. Personally, I'll definitely do what your mom did for you for my daughters (gifts from different fictional characters). I think it's more about the fantasy of it and the magic and wonder it brings to kids.

 Senators are immune from insider trading prosecutions. I imagine they would sue to argue that privilege extends to whomever they  Nice It’s So Awesome When My Son Ignores Me Its Like Hes A Little Husband Shirt share information to; since Senator isn't charged with disseminating confidential information (first half of insider trading) then the other party isn't capable of being found guilty of benefiting from said information (second half of insider trading). It's just astonishing that all the crooked shit is right there in front of us and we do nothing.
