ahh the poor innocent minds

Love this one!

😆

I shop and wrap so far in advance even I am amazed at what Santa brought!

I get that some husbands are like this, but gift giving is just one of my love languages so I lean into Christmas pretty hard. I couldn't imagine just forgetting about Christmas randomly.

I asked my sister to give me kitten toys for Christmas. 👍 (Although the adult cats would like to inform everyone that the kitten is on the NAUGHTIEST NAUGHTY LIST.)

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

My rabbit 😅🥴

I've always given gifts to my pets. And my friends' pets. They're the closest thing to kids/nieces/nephews I'm gonna get.

I have treats for my cats and for my sisters dog. They deserve to celebrate as well 🙂

I don't know, one of my dogs is 10000000% on the naughty list. I love him, but, uh, well, just look at that face.

Some things just can't be real !

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.

8YO can be replaced.

And the credit lol

Cuz Santa loves you (just like your parents but I aint saying nothing)

I wonder if her friend is the one that wants to keep the fire burning when Santa comes?

Prioririties. The child knows.

I would say "Nearly Christmas, you can tell because the reindeer get extra sleep before they get really busy"

point

B***s would have done to Santa what M**k did to Tesla.

Don't worry I'm sure "Santa" would love to get herself something nice too 🙂

He has the money to do it.

These are hard times for everyone.

*gasp* How evil!

Lol good luck with that!

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! HE'S SANTA!" I don't know how to take that

Nah. Didn't happen. And if it did, parents need to stop having adult conversations in front of him.

when i was a toddler i was deathly afraid of the chuck e cheeses animatronics (but for some reason I watched random a*s youtubers play fnaf when I was like 4) and the people in the easter bunny suits.

Kid: "AAAAAAaaaaggghhhh! AAAAAAaaaaggghhhh!" Mom: "But he will have a big black sack!" Kid: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" *Runs away to bedroom and slams door and the sound of things being piled up behind it can be heard*

He's had elves working in his R&D division for centuries now. He's using drone technology way ahead of our current level of technology so are completely silent, undetectable by modern tracking, and can cloak. He flies around in the sleigh like people ride their bikes or motorcycles or horses... for fun. Edit: And as a diversion to throw people off the drones.

F**k off! Another parent desperately trying to copy that James Breakwell bullshitter! Why? Why do they do this?

It is also the best way to make sure your kids don't go snooping: Just leave it all in the taped-shut amazon box.

No he doesn't. He won't come unless the kids are asleep

Oooh I'm stealing this one!

: (

Been there, done that...

Didn't say what size of motorcycle, so any toy one will do.

I had my daughter ask me this when she was little. I told her "Santa is created from the minds and beliefs of the children from around the world and he takes the form that kids will trust and love and that's why he is a jolly fat guy in red because that's what the first kids wanted him to look like on the first Christmas day and it has been passed down ever since"

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.

& THAT'S how it's done folks!

I never talk on the phone either. That's why I act like I'm texting Santa.

Big guy in red? I can see the reason you slipped up
