@No-Quarter I'm dreading the day we no longer have Santa. A couple of weeks ago we had some work done on our chimney, some sort of thing that goes on the top of the pots needed replacing and she was very interested in what was going on (because the only reason chimneys exist is for a certain someone). The guy that did it was brilliant he was telling her that he's checking the chimneys for Santa and will let him know she's being good.

Fuck Santa. He never existed in my house. I’m not having some fat prick take credit for presents I bought.

Yeah. He decides who's good or bad? Fat judgemental fluffybunny.

@No-Quarter my eldest must know at 9. But he plays along just in case the prezzies dry up. I am sure classmates with older siblings give the game away first
Yeah I'm pretty sure he's going to play along this year at least to ensure he gets the outrageous presents he's asking for...

It's OK, most of them do actually figure it out in the end and realise it was you that was paying for the presents and creating a bit of magic at Christmas.

Oh man. Were you brought up without Santa too?
I worked with a Christadelphian doctor who refused to lie to her children about Santa, and when they told other kids he doesn't exist and their parents complained she couldn't see the big deal.
It's a special part of childhood to me, but whatever is special to your family is up to you ay. -

Probably a fair point, the poor kids already have one fat judgemental fluffybunny to deal with.

I'm not that fat but the other points are more than fair.

So you are actually going to get your son a diamond for Christmas?
What happened to a rugby ball, or a matchbox car or even a bike (not the town bike)?
-
@No-Quarter get him a bit of coal and tell him to start working on his grip strength
-
@Paekakboyz or a pencil

Santa stil gets play in our house, because i fucking love christmas.
My kids clued on ages ago, but are smart enough to play dumb. I don't care, they will still get spoiled.

Haha not a chance, as I already explained it's not a toy.
One challenge we have is he sees toys on YouTube and wants them, but they're not available in NZ. He really wants the Cloverfield toy this year (from the Cloverfield movie) but it's damn near impossible to get and costs a small fortune. "But Santa can just make it" he says. Little shit knows exactly what he's doing.
-
The Government won't let Santa in because of Covid-19.
or
Santa got sued for copyright infringement.
-
@antipodean nah, Christmas gifts from Santa delayed until 7/8 Jan to allow for quarantine

How old is he? Baby Yoda is in stores now and Mando S2 will be here in a couple of months...
