Why do parents want their children to believe in Santa?

[drkaje]

Pretty much these two.  No sense in even explaining to those who are anti children to begin with.

A little wonder won't hurt them or take away from the vapid life most adults lead.

I use it as a subtle troll on my son. He recently became self-enlightened, but is staying mum and holding his cards. Who is the master now???

I tell adults Santa is going to put coal and onions in their stockings, LOL!

Santa cannot hold a candle to the Grim Reaper.  Death will put everything in perspective.

Hope you get enlightened soon

The Earth itself has many wonders.  No need to make things up.

My daugther lives in and loves her imagination and she shares it with others....it's kids and it's great.

Still, you also share with your kids the earth, solar system, galaxy and universe.

You've got all these cool, positive things.  Why limit the experience?

[HTexan]

We're sorry you had a shitty childhood and got ass raped by Krampus

Bwhhahahahaha

[Walter Sobchak]

I think it is more detrimental as it stagnates the child brain into thinking magical nonsense is real which opens the door for further belief in nonsense and superstition.

Also, why would you not want your child to know that YOU were the one behind the gifts?

You are a miserable fuck.

It's fitting that God made you so ugly and without any redeeming qualities.

Like a daily reminder that he hates you.

Adam, you misspelled God.

Well played ma' nizzo.

.T.A. if you had children you would no why.did you believe in any recollection if you did in your childhood?if so i'm sure you are no worse for wear in believing then learning the truth...

I hope your children receive a better education than you did. Your writing/spelling/everything ... yikes.

If a grown man believes in Santa Claus he's considered insane but if he believes in God it's completely fine and somewhat even respectable

Thing's that follow society's norm aren't considered insane.

[Irongrip400]

Why not?

[OlympiaGym]

Its really not. 

Not for you Jesus killers.

[The Scott]

Why do you worry so about other's children?  Belief in Santa Claus is temporary and it could be said that it lasts until the beginning of the end of one's childhood. 

Why are you so eager to take the joy from the heart of a child?  What's next, stealing the roast beast?    I recommend that you sit down and watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas", in particular the part where Linus explains, "...and that's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown."

And please, let us not make this another faux fight as you know as well as I that you don't mean a great deal of what  you would say and I have no desire to riddle you with words and phrases that men lesser than you would have to look up in Mr. Webster's book.

You are better than this and to be honest, I wish to be.

Inb4 Adam has a child who grows up to ultimately commit a mass shooting ending in suicide

Because it's the most magical time of a child's life, and nothing later in will ever match that type of unbridled joy. Your soul is icky beyond repair, sir.

[MP]

Fucking weirdo anti-socials on here.

Let me guess. You have no game with women and spend your copious amount of free time criticizing everything normal people enjoy.

You know...I was gonna say the exact same thing and then I turned into my usual wordy self.

Thanks ..we all can't be professional writers like you.

Sometimes it's ok to speak plainly, Scott. You do that very well, wish we'd see more.

No, more like Adonis never got a Red Ryder BB gun when he was a little gargoyle and now he feels cheated because all of his hair is exactly the same length

[The Ugly]

Nothing comes close to the kind of excitement a kid feels staying awake to hear those hooves stomping on the roof. Feel sorry for the poor kids of miserable killjoy malcontents, too fucking selfish to let a child dream.

Those are among the most treasured memories a kid will ever have.
