40 Funny Posts About Santa From Parents Who Are Just Trying To Survive Christmas
Interview
Some parents have been working non-stop from the start of December. Elf on the Shelf, writing letters to Santa, making costumes for whatever program the school came up with this year. It's like a marathon, and I didn't even mention getting presents for everybody. So it's understandable they vent their frustrations online.
That's why we decided to bring you the funniest posts on X (Twitter) from parents about Santa. Children have a unique perspective on that whole ordeal about a man who supposedly "watches you when you sleep" and somehow knows if you've been good this year. And parents sometimes have the funniest reactions to their children's hot takes. So check out these Holly Jolly posts from parents about Santa that we picked out for you, pandas!
Bored Panda reached out to two moms whose posts you will see in this list: Jillian, aka Mommeh Dearest, and the woman behind the Stories Of A Mediocre Mom page Amanda Marcotte. They were kind enough to tell us more about what it's like creating funny parenting content on social media.

Funny parenting content from X (Twitter) is a staple here at Bored Panda. But since it's a few days until Christmas, we've decided to hit you with some Santa-related content. We have to admit that Santa Claus is a strange and funny concept for children to conceptualize. So it's no surprise many funny posts can come out of parent-child interactions about it.
We reached out to two moms who regularly post funny things on X (Twitter), Instagram and other social platforms. Jillian and Amanda told us more about how they started posting funny interactions with their kids on social media and how it has helped them through tough times.

I was the one that got the chocolates I hated, it was a horrible thing to do. My parents gave my sister and themselves the same ones, I think it turtles or chocolate covered cherries, that they all loved, but I just wanted plain milk chocolate. So I never truly received chocolates from 'Santa', I thought this was his way of saying I did some small naughty thing.

My child gets threatened with not getting his yearly Lego gift every time he misbehaves. (He has got some Lego from Santa every year since he was three.) He is 48 now. But he no longer throws tantrums!
The ladies have quite different origin stories of becoming 'a funny parent on X (Twitter)'. Jillian says seeing other parents post funny things inspired her. "I started Twitter as a release to get these silly thoughts out of my head," she told Bored Panda. "I had seen articles online about funny parenting tweets and thought, ‘I could do that’. And that turned my account into a parenting humor account."
Amanda's journey is a bit different. "Writing on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook all came from a weird time for me postpartum," she tells us. "I'd be up all night and thinking 'There is no way I'm the only one going through this nonsense.' It started from trying to laugh my way through motherhood when I'd otherwise be a mess."

Opposite of my mum- she is so disorganized that she wraps presents as we are about to start opening them. This year you could tell she just grabbed stuff that was lying around/had bought for herself (in fact I was there when she purchased some of them, so I knew she hadn't planned them as gifts).

My nephew decided to test if Santa was real by requesting something special at 10pm on Christmas Eve. He wanted a new collar for his Scooby Doo plush toy. Fortunately I had some lovely black satin ribbon with me, and was able to whip up a new collar and attach the original tags to it. He had also put out his kid spy gear stuff (motion sensors, alarms), we turned them off as the adults were still up, promising to put them back on before we went to bed. Santa left him a note that he turned them off to save the batteries as they don't work on him due to his Christmas magic and asked if he liked Scooby's new collar. He believed for a little while longer

I am bitter about many things my parents did. Letting me have Santa is absolutely not one of them. I loved that magic and am so glad I got to have it. And my parents were super honest about most things. Too honest. And jerks. Honesty isn't what builds the trust. It love and knowing that parent has you genuine best interest at heart. A super honest parent who's just involved in their own drama- not trustworthy. A parent who lets a child believe in Santa and loves them and takes care of them- totally trustworthy.

My parents told me Santa wasn't real when I was 3 or 4, but said not to tell other kids and to let them believe. They just saw it as lying to me and knew that I would figure it out because no way would they try that hard to lie, hahahah. No loss here, Christmases were great, and I didn't ruin anyone else's childhood.

Do you want your kid to apologise for the fact that they shat in nappies too?
Huddo's sister 1 year ago
I actually did say this, though not these exact words. I informed my mum when I was 11 that I had known Santa wasn't real for a while, so she didn't need to give me two lots of gifts anymore, even though I loved them. She was a bit shattered to be honest, and said I should have at least 1 more year, for the sake of the other kids. Then she came up with the idea that when we turned 12, Santa would see we were mature enough to need him, so would get a Christmas box from our parents instead. (Santa usually brought the smaller presents, in our stocking, and mum and dad gave us a bigger one). My sister didn't even realise Santa wasn't real when she was 12, because it was 'well known' he didn't come when you age out and she didn't question it until later :) I knew money was tight, so made sure she knew how much I appreciated 'Santa's presents too.

Amanda's opinion is similar. "I've certainly encountered challenges. There are always comments from people saying, 'If you hate parenting so much, why'd you have kids?’ There are people who take things so dang seriously – we're all here to laugh so we don't cry," the mom quips. "But for the most part, I've met like-minded parents who are also navigating this tricky life and it's been amazing."

Approaching the struggles of parenting with humor helps both Jillian and Amanda keep their sanity. The Mommeh Dearest believes that it also helps parents feel like they are not alone. "I think we can all connect through humor," she says. "So when I see other parents make jokes about their kids, I know those parents love their kids but they need that slight release which is humor."

Amanda says that being funny about parenting helps parents take the edge off. "Humor helps us to remember not to take everything so seriously," she tells us. "There's so much stress in trying to raise good humans.
Whether it's making sure we're feeding them the right food, not giving too much screen time, reading to them the proper amount, helping them with coping skills – there's just a lot of pressure."

James has a lot of different stories that don't match up. Makes sense he is on BP.
"So humor really lets us forget about that for a while," Amanda says. "And reminds us that we're all learning – and it's a process, and sometimes that process is joyful and funny and sometimes it's a mess and funny."
Amanda also says that X (Twitter) and Instagram can be a place to say things she wouldn't otherwise say out loud. "I say the stuff I say on Twitter and Instagram so it doesn't come out at my kids," she says and laughs. "It's like group therapy with 46,000 of my closest friends."

Not a problem, obviously Santa is so awesome that lots of people want to dress up like him. Doesn't mean every guy in a red suit IS Santa. The real Santa is super busy at the North Pole, he only makes occasional trips south to double check his naughty/nice list this time of year.

This is why we circled all the things we wanted in catalogues. I think we did it all year too.
Many of the posts in this list tackle quite a serious task the parents face: how and if at all to tell their kids Santa is not real. Luckily, psychology professors Candice Mills and Thalia R. Goldstein did two studies about debunking the Santa myth.
In the first study, Mills and Goldstein spoke to children aged 6-15. They asked them how they felt about recently learning that Santa is, in fact, not real. The second study involved conversations with adults ages 18-76. They had to reflect on their childhood experiences upon learning the Santa myth.

Last night, my sister told my 5 year old nephew that "The fat guy in red is coming with presents for him soon" and he looked at me and asked if I had red clothes and i said without thinking "I have a red T-shirt" His eyes went wide and he looked at my sister and said "MOM!

Somewhere... There is a photo of my sister and I visiting Santa. My sister is having to physically hold me to keep me from running away. Santa's holding my stuffed Big Bird toy. I'm crying, absolutely terrified. Ahh. Therapy.
The major finding in both studies pertained to both children and adults. They expressed sadness and disappointment upon learning Santa isn't real, but the feeling was short-lived. "Children often shifted their focus to other aspects of the holiday season that they enjoyed, like gift-giving and family traditions," Mills and Goldstein write.

Honey, there's too many people now. The reindeer would get so tired trying to pull the sleigh everywhere in one night, and there's not enough elves to make toys for everyone. Santa gets most of the presents delivered by Amazon Prime, that's why you need to make a wishlist, to save him time.

First, be mindful of their age. 7 or 8 is the usual age when they might stop believing it. Keep in mind that the older the child gets, the more negatively they might feel upon finding out the truth.

Because you're incapable of explaining peeing, unless an imaginary old man is involved?
They might be angry at the hypocrisy that their parents lied for so long while telling them that lying is bad. The psychologists recommend telling children why they have included Santa in their holiday traditions.
"Blurring the line between fantasy and reality is a normal part of being a young kid," the psychologists write. So as long as the children know their parents just wanted to inject some magic into their lives, there shouldn't be much bitterness.

I really can't stand elf on a shelf. It's a terrible way to teach your children to conform. You're basically abrogationg your responsibility as a parent to a fictional being, and this can affect a child's mental health. If a parent doesn't have strategies to help their children learn then they should take parenting courses. Christmas is about joy, not about punishment.

This concept does not exist in the Netherlands, luckily. The kids do have two guys in red to deal with: Sinterklaas (St Nicolas) and Kerstman ("Christmas Fellow"). The first arrives mid november and leaves on the 6th of december, has a white horse and colorful helpers dropping little gifts down the chimneys. On the 5th he visits with bigger gifts. The second leaves gifts under the Christmas tree, usually opened on the 24th. In Germany there is either a guy in red (Weihnachtsmann) or a girl in white with wings and a golden ring hovering over her head (Christkind) - depending on the region - leaving presents, opened also in the evening of the 24th. All of them do have a Golden Book, with good and bad actions done. And no German has a glass cucumber as ornament in their Christmas tree. This "german tradition" was entirely invented in the USA.

Googling it. Santa was born 15 March 270 AD. He became Father Christmas in the 1500s. He picked up the Dutch name Sinterklaas in the middle ages. That became the English name Santa Claus in 1773. His latest suit of clothing was made in 1931. He's not going to be Santa forever, some time in the future he's going to be 圣诞老人 , pronounced Shengdan. He got so bored that he started the tradition of Christmas in July back in the year 1938.

Reindeer health and safety act - they're not allowed to land on the roof anymore, in case they slip and fall. They land in the yard, and they can't fit if it's full of decorations. If you're poor and have no yard, they have to land in the street, and Santa can only make one trip from the sleigh because he'll block traffic. That's why poor kids get less presents.

I like to sneak into my brother's house (I have a key and garage door opener) when they're not there and decorate their house for various holidays. For instance Valentine's decorations for 4th of July, or Diwali for Labor Day. One year I snuck in and decorated for Hanukkah in early December. They walked in and were cracking up. Until about an hour later when the eldest niece (about 6 at the time) became inconsolable because she thought the Elf would report to Santa that they're now Jewish and he would skip them that year.
