The santa clause myth is lib shit, and I have no plans to teach my kid that santa clause is real. I don't want my kid obsessing over the amount of shit at the bottom of that tree on 12/25, or trying to manipulate their behavior a few days/weeks beforehand to increase said amount of shit.
But, I'm not really sure how to approach this. The kid is only 2, so nothing to worry about for a few more years. Should I just be direct? There is no Santa, holidays are about family?
Anybody here already cross that bridge?
I believed in Santa until I was 5 or 6. I figured he was fake on my own. No harm done. Santa is representative of the season of giving and hope. Kids are resilient and will get over it in a day.
Teach your kid about Santa, it’s good for the imagination. If you’re scared of them being spoiled then make them do a toy drive or something. You’re definitely overthinking it.
