Santa was outside T-Mobile selling phones, and my kidlet pointed him out and explained to me that he was just a man in a Santa suit. He has thought this all out, and it seems clear that he's not buying into the jolly mystique the way his brother did, who believed in Santa until he was 10 or 11. I admit, I encouraged the myth, even though it wouldn't have scarred the little guy to know the truth. WHY? Because I don't want him spilling the beans to the other kids who still believe, and making me the mom who killed Santa for a class full of kindergartners.

I think my mom was okay with that. My kid is TERRIFIED of Santa… she said she’d rather leave cookies for Grandma instead of Santa… I think my mom was okay with that.

We also don't do pictures with the characters at Disney because they scare the CRAP out of my kids. Hellz to the no we don’t do Santa pictures.

But that picture right there is reason enough to pay the admission to one of those temples to consumerism and entertainment! Awesome. Way to go, daddy-o!

Lilo and Stitch is her numero uno favorite movie right now - so much that she's even developed little Lilo's attitude problem. UGH. But still - that picture is hilarious. Good stuff. Man.

Pure hysteria: http://themothertongue.wordpress.com/2007/12/ Also, my parents and in-laws are horrified that we told my 4-year-old son that there isn't really a Santa. I was appalled when he started begging for Christmas toys in October last year, so we decided to try and make Christmas a little more Whoville, a little less Grinch. <a href="http://themothertongue.wordpress.com/2007/12/10/virginia-i-hate-to-tell-you-this/" rel="nofollow">Details here.</a> I wonder if you have seen the Scared of Santa photo gallery?
