Let’s start a war on non-religious Christmas. Santa isn’t real. Why are we teaching kids it’s okay to blatantly lie? Stop forcing your kids sit on a random dude’s lap for a photo. It’s creepy. Why are we chopping trees for vibes? Just hand them the gift.

Why can’t we have some whimsy, some mystery in life? At some point you should tell them definitely but having this figure that is all jolly and good giving presents to all the kids across the world is a nice feeling to think of as a kid

Real talk, do you think they’re hiring any dude off the street to be Santa at the mall? Most positions where you regularly work/interact with kids require a background check. Use your brain, stop complaining for literally no reason 💀

There are so many scientific and medical mysteries in life based on FACTS and not LIES.

Folklore has exsisted since forever, Santa is just an extension of that. Also, I doubt a 7 year old would rather Christmas be about medical mysteries instead of Who left them gifts under the tree.

Exactly. They’re children. Stop the creepy lies. The grinch caved. He should have let them hum and leave it at that.

Nah when I was 7 years old I wanted to do Jimmy Neutron stuff and create random stuff. Pushed me into working in the construction industry.

Having a minor sit on a random old dude’s lap for a photo is creepy to the core. People who volunteer to have random children sit on their lap, AND BE PAID TO DO IT, should raise red flags and questions.

You are what Elon Musk wants to make society like. Zero-sum and hyper logical with no regard for the illogical nuance that is the human experience and cultural traditions.

Bro it is YOU who is sexualizing an innocent interaction between a literal child and beloved and trusted cultural figures. Your creepy uncle is more likely to be a pedo than an old guy that genuinely loves kids and wants to contribute to the happiness of children in society.
