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?
