re: Apparently you must tell kids the expensive gifts aren't from Santa b/c of poor people

Maybe mommy and daddy shouldn't procreate if they can't afford kids

OK Reddit.

Yeah man I've often worried about this. Its Christmas time....have a little compassion. It's not the kids fault

The only weak idiots are the people who continue to implement the pagan elements of Christmas such as Santa Claus. It's embarrassing that Christians even claim this holiday anymore. Jesus wasn't born in December, businesses have monetized the gift giving aspect to death that it isn't even recognizable, the tree and Santa Claus are pagan garbage.

so now we're going to shame Santa? make him out to be some cheap screw who only gives shitty gifts? I do declare!

*****TL;DR The folloing is written by an autistic savant imbecile on the spectrum so forgive any educational short comings as well as when enough being enough in order to grasp the full picture.

Another solution would be for parents to teach their kids that life is not about a status or material things and a good first step would be to led by example.

My ex best friend (who is a corporate manager at a construction company and appears to do well as he should but is not the case) is in debt far more than I can ever imagine, owes everyone he possibly could, tens of thousands of dollars, probably 100k's over all, as well as numerous investments that has tanked and still on the hook for, likes to have everyone believe he is living like an OT baller. He buys the best of everything, takes clients out to lunch and events and puts it on his personal account instead of business accounts, buys and invests in ludicrous things, (18 wheelers to haul cane, that once they started to break he could never fix, and no longer has the trucks but is still payimg on them) as well as failed business after failed business along with no telling how man tax id's and things to cover up his identity, all in the name of appearing a big shot.

He owes another friend who was working for him at the time four grand going into Christmas last year. Guys tells him he needs momey for his kids chistmas. He wasn't even able to loan him $50 so he could buy his kids anything for Christmas, so he literally was empty handed Christmas morning. When all of a sudden Mr. Bigshot shows up to other friends house bright amd early with his kids and with them they have in tow with them, their new Iphones, Apple watches, and other expensive trendy items for 10yo's and actually begins to brag to other buddies kids on how much awesome shite his kids got from santa while humoring himself animatedly to look like Santa liked his kids better.

This piece of shite really gets a rise out of situations like this and had it been me in other friends place had I had kids, they would have seen their father bury a man on Christmas morning.

While talking to other friend one day about several thousand im owed by Mr. Bigshot, he breaks down crying and proceeds telling me the above story and how his kids were not upset about it and hugged him and his wife and told them that they have things that they enjoy and are happy wih already and Christmas is about being happy with family not what santa brings. Friend said he never not wanted to exist and the most extreme satisfaction all in one instance to the point he was nauseated from over whelming emotion.

As soon as I could get away I was in tears, called Mr.Bigshot and ended a 28yo best friendship as well as best man to each otber in our marrige to our wives, the very instant I could get everything I had to say out of my mouth. Sorriest son of a bitch ive ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Bonus: Mr.Bigshot, who has a history of infidelity on par with the likes of Wilt Chamberlin, recently got catfished by a chick in another state for over 50k, cell phome bills, apartment rent, car notes ects, for supposedly keeping quiet about having his child and not telling his wife. Ended when girs boyfriend foumd txts and called to let him know that she does not have a kid and the kid belonged to her sister and she was playing the frick out of him.

Warning: Mr.Bigshot currently is a prominent member of a popular congregation and leds numerous adult groups which includes big brother and battered womens programs and is thought of highly in the community. He also metals in other affairs to look like a caring but concerned friend only to stay in high favors of those he can benifit from. He will, however run his luck into the ground and finaly get his just desserts.

I agree with her, I’m not a big fan of the Santa myth, but go along with it cause it’s fun.

Santa doesn’t bring that much and we don’t give her crazy shite like that either. Bigger gifts come from us, we keep her to a budget and ask for college money over lots of gifts from the grandparents. She ends up playing with very little of the stuff anyway and better than having a room full of discarded toys.

I get it but I'm sorry. I am not changing how my family does Christmas or explains Santa Clause because you can't do it yourself.
