I think Santa makes people forget the real meaning of Christmas, but I guess that makes it a religious issue. And I am NOT a credit mongerer. I just don't think it needs to go to some dude that doesn't exist. If my mom told me someone came down our chimney while I was sleeping I would probably have nightmares. Anyhoo.... lol As you can see, I get way too worked up over this issue so I'll just drop it before everyone starts to hate me.

LOL...but...on the other hand....how do you KNOW he doesnt exist.......the myth is actually based on the true person called Saint Nicholas, who did give gifts. So maybe the story has been exaggerated over time...but the purpose behind the story is based in facts and reality....and who hasn't ever exaggerated a story over time. and nah...we won't hate you...everyone has their opinion....and mine is....since u can't prove he does or doesn't exist....it all comes down to what you want to believe in...much like religion does.

Because if I were not to place any gifts under my christmas tree I sure as hell guareentee that I would have 3 very pissed off kids Also when I was 9 or so, I should definitely have recieved a big bag of coal for christman not gifts, because I sure as hell was not a good kid that year

I'll tell ya what. I will send them to you and let you experiment on them like that then. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near them when that happens, cause it will totally skip WW3-9, that would start WW10

lol no one is going to hate you Ember, just because you have a different view..lol . and I didn't mean that YOU specificaly are a credit mongerer..lol
AS far as being a good kid.. I was always a good kid, most of the time anyways. Though I did let my lil sister drag me into a great many things..lol. I didn't start acting 'bad' till I was in HighSchool and out of the 'santa' phase..lol. But that is a WHOLE other story ..lol.
