I can't decide if this thread has put me in the Chirstmas spirit or crushed the life out of it for me this year. What a rollercoaster ride reading it was though.
For the record I'm 52 and still believe in Santa. Or at least the spirit of the season including the all-too-rare feeling of goodwill that Santa represents. There's not a damn thing wrong with letting kids be kids and believing in Santa. Fictitious or not why the driving need to be so literal and reality-driven with 5 yr olds? Where would books, movies, the sci-fi and fantasy genres, etc be without abstract thinking?
People say the world no longer has a place for corporal punishment but a father who takes it upon himself to tell another guy's kid something he has no business opening his mouth about needs a bitchslap of teeth-rattling proportions.
