my parents told me santa was a lie other parents told their kids because other parents didn't care about telling the truth, so when i was a kid i'd go around and try to debate other kids out of believing in santa
I was explaining xmas to my vietnamese students and found myself saying -
"my parents didn't tell my Santa was real, but they told me Jesus was, which is probably worse."
suggestion for one of your big polls:
anybody planning to have kids or just had a baby: [1] tell them about santa delivery for that childhood wonderment? [2] break the chain and dont do the santa lie
