The santa clause myth is lib shit, and I have no plans to teach my kid that santa clause is real. I don't want my kid obsessing over the amount of shit at the bottom of that tree on 12/25, or trying to manipulate their behavior a few days/weeks beforehand to increase said amount of shit.
But, I'm not really sure how to approach this. The kid is only 2, so nothing to worry about for a few more years. Should I just be direct? There is no Santa, holidays are about family?
Anybody here already cross that bridge?
Tell them the truth! Santa is the fed chair in disguise, they hijacked a fable to drive consumerism. Make it into a bedtime story about the pitfalls of materialism: the deer are the workforce led by the red outcast, cookies are the tool of lobbying firms, and so on...
