‘CAUTION: this article contains sensitive information concerning the existence of Santa Claus’
Seriously?! Is this what the PC culture has brought us to question why we perpetuate a myth? We tell the story about Santa Claus to kids because they need a little magic and joy in their lives, and ours, in this insane world. This is one white lie adults shouldn’t feel guilty about, but leave it to liberal shrinks to suggest otherwise using the same mind game on adults that is used on kids about not being bad. They suggest that dragging the lie out, not telling kids the truth will wreck their lives, potentially destroying their relationship or any level of trust they have with their parents! C’mon, most kids figure it out for themselves snooping around the house or an older sibling blabs!
Santa Claus has been around for generations spanning over few hundred years, why is this a problem and concern now? Because progressives love to mess with our lives.
Progressives are anti-religion, so it’s no wonder they would embrace a study done by psychologists outside the US to target Jolly Saint Nick. Being that Santa and Christmas are tied to Christianity progressives attack it at ever opportunity. They look for any reason to discredit and trivialize Christianity because they know it’s part of our nations founding. Progressives are desperate to ruin everything on their way out after having their butts handed to them Nov 8th.
Folks keep the myth and magic of Santa and Christmas going with your kids for as long as you can.

The darker reality, the authors suggest, is that lying to children, even about something fun and frivolous, could undermine their trust in their parents and leave them open to “abject disappointment” when they eventually discover that magic is not real.
Kathy McKay, a clinical psychologist at the University of New England, Australia and co-author, said: “The Santa myth is such an involved lie, such a long-lasting one, between parents and children, that if a relationship is vulnerable, this may be the final straw. If parents can lie so convincingly and over such a long time, what else can they lie about?”
Levelling with your children so close to the big event may put a bit of a dampener on festivities, but parents must sometimes take the long view, according to McKay. “There is potential for children to be harmed in these lies,” she said…Read More
