This story got me thinking about life after death

I can't remember what it was exactly, but they pitched a fit and went crying to their mama who then threw me out. I was six at the time, they were both older than me, and while obviously I knew about the "Santa Claus" tradition and still received gifts marked "From Santa" on them, I was pretty baffled when they reacted that way over the possibility that maybe some fat jolly man didn't really climb down every chimney in the world once a year and leave presents for people. I honestly couldn't believe that kids that age still believed that kind of thing was even remotely possible, I mean the logistics of such an operation alone, not to mention the laws of physics...

Anyway their mother told them I was a liar and sent me home for (quite innocently) dropping the "There Is No Santa" Bomb in front of her pwecious snowfwakes. And I will say this for my mother, for whom I can not say much, she went over to the lady's house afterwards and asked her if SHE believed that Santa Claus actually brought presents to her kids, and when the lady said "of course not," demanded that she apologize to me for calling me a liar. Which she did and IIRC that was the last of it.

Thank heavens we only lived there 10 months, I can't imagine what the fallout would've been if I'd burst the Tooth Fairy bubble as well.

That's AWFUL!! You ARE an evil evil woman! Now get down and give me 25 and not the girly push-ups either! There's only room for 1 a-hole on these forums and it's NOT going to be YOU! That's MY job!

I'll be watching you!!

I didn't, but Frau DID! Shame on her!

But don't worry! I will have her in tip top shape by the end of summer if she continues down this path of unladylike vileness!

BTW private Frau - Those push-ups didn't count because YOU forgot to do "Corps-style" push-ups!!!! Now start again from the beginning and sound off like you've got a pair!!!!

Of course he is, and a very old and powerful one, altho watered down now for modern public consumption.

Oh, wait, you meant the other definition of "myth." Never mind.

Anyway, I don't care about Santa, the Hogfather is where it's at.

Honestly people, how dumb can you be? Santa Claus is not a Myth. He is a Mythter. Santa Claus he is not only a boy but he is married!
