OT: When did you 'kill' the fat white man?

LOL! Gurl.....my kids don't care!!! They are just happy that they have stuff. Now they will have one bag of stuff as a surprise from me. Plus they have presents coming from grandma, dad, etc etc..   I am just a big kid myself. I am too impatient!!! LOL!!!! 

My kid 'knows' but we just play along...however...Santa aint never been white.

LOL....my little one is so into Ariel.....she actually thinks she a mermaid.  I have bought her all these fancy little dresses just so she can fantazise.  She has a  very active imagination.  Wow...as I type...she comes in and I ask her if she believes in Santa and she says that the her whole class wrote letters to him. Guess I will have to play along. 

Unfortunately for my kids the fat white man was killed off this past summer.  My 7-year old son told me that "I" never bought him toys except for his birthday and that the only people who bought him presents were his "other daddy" (my husband is his step-father since age 2).  I don't know what happened but my head spun around and I said "listen up lil' boy...those cheap gifts that you break within two days are from soyour other daddy, the rest that come from Santa are really from me...I'm Santa Claus and I'm tired of some fat white man getting all the credit for what I buy all year for Christmas"  I should be ashamed   but I'm not.  I then proceeded to show him where I  kept the shyt load of toys and computer games and clothes, wrapping paper, etc (I had to move it after snitching on myself)  I saw the reality set in and he started saying Mommy I am so sorry I didn't know you took over when Santa Claus died   I don't know how or why he came to that conclusion but it made it alright for me and now he is like I better be good or Mommy isn't gonna give me any presents...Now he's asking me do I climb down our chimney,lol

In the voice of Martin, "Keep the lie alive"!  lol

There's something magical surrounding the naivety of kids as it relates to Santa. Christmas was always special in my house. I remember my parents urging us to go to bed when the news reporter spoke of spotting Santa on the radar, the letters to Santa, and the  anticipation the day held. I even swore that I heard Santa land on our rooftop with bells and all. Although we had some clues that he didn't exist, it was still fun. My parents left unwrapped gifts that were from Santa and wrapped ones that were from them. We didn't always get what we wanted, but my parents always came up with a good reason for it.

I almost got into a fight in fourth grade when a girl tried to tell everyone that there was no Santa Claus. lol  Don't get me wrong, my parents made sure we knew the true meaning of Christmas and we were greatful for what we received. 

Kids grow up so fast these days. They know about sex before there 10 y.o, some can out curse grown folk, are left to raise themselves... Why not let them remain blind to an  innocent tradition. They'll find out the harsh realities of Santa and the rest of the world soon enough.

If race is an issue, who said Santa has to be white? Tell them that the white guy works for the black Santa. He can't be everywhere at once.

Oooouuuuuuuuu! I Love that line!!!!

My kids never knew santa so they murdered him for others that asked them at school what santa was bringing them.  It was a many parent calling my house asking me why did my kids tell saying "Yo mama lying to you there is no santa".  I said because they couldn't think of a more tactful way to say it. 
MM you are the most up front and out there person around, if baby girl is anything like you its best you be upfront cause she might come back with some rough stuff.  LOL

I can't remember how or when the older two quit believing in Santa. Now my youngest who is ten just figured it out this year. Her brother and sister kept yellin at me to tell her but I didn't until she asked. There is so little excitement and innocence left for kids now a days that i figure theres no harm in lettin em believe. Now my older two are always on my ass about what I'm gonna buy them. They so miss the point I guess.

My 7 year old still believes in Santa and I'm gonna let her have that until she figures it out on her own.  She thinks that mommy has Santa's cell phone number so she knows if she acts up, her gifts will be taken away.

We had a lil episode the other dayof her trying to show out..... I told her I was calling Santa, she started crying...and the child said "Santa don't have Verizon mommy, you gotta wait til after 9." 

Kids....I tell you, lol.
