I tried to explain that it wasn't that we didn't believe in him, but that he <b>wasn't real</b>. Her response was always, "Yeah, but someone has to tell him." Maybe we should have a funeral for Santa this year. We could invite the neighborhood.

I love it. You've inspired me for next year when my dad's wife berates me for depriving my children of the "joy" of Santa Claus. The hardest part is getting your "black-and-white" 6 year old to be quiet when other parents want to deceive their children. PS Personally, beating a redneck senseless in the Walmart is the highlight of my Christmas season. (Not really, don't start calling me a hate-monger!)
