You people weren't all that scarred from your parents letting you believe Santa was real, were you? I'm glad my parents let me believe.
Christmas had and still has nothing to do with religion to me.

No I wasn't really scarred. But I could see that some children may trust their parents less due to it. I'm afraid they might not heed my warnings that "heroin and promiscuous unsafe sex is bad for you" or take all of the philosophy that I teach them to be utter bullshit that they should never consider or something because of one huge lie.

I figure this will probably be the last year Kellian will believe. Her and Evan though are totally excited about the 'magic' of it. They even plan to put special cookies and milk out for Santa and some carrots for the reindeers. Rudolph and the rest of the reindeers do not like cookies, they are not good for them- at least that is what Kellian tells me.  |
Awwww, that's cute.
