I know its just a stupid consumerist holiday or whatever, but damn finding out the truth gave 9 year old me issues with trust.

    yeah feel a bit like a joyless commie but I think lying to your kids is bad. I think just saying it's a special day of the year where we show our love through gift giving is enough.

    But also don't feel that strongly about it to struggle session over. Like maybe telling it as a general "once upon a time" story is good.

    Also I'm like 10 years away from even potentially having kids so my opinion doesn't matter much lol
