Today, after telling my young kids all about Santa, his reindeer and his sleigh, we saw him. Smoking a cigarette in the beat-up car next to ours at a red light. FML

Well times are hard everybody is having a rough time and down grading.

Your kids learnt the grim reality of life. Santa can't hold his job; it's stressful and only comes one a year. The IRS is up his ass and the missus has had more rides from the elves than Santa gets on his sleigh. Everyone copes some how. So merry christmas you jolly bastard. I'll be leaving you my cookies and milk.

I would advise your kids to replace the milk and cookies with some nicotine patches and Nicorette gum.

This is why I never lied to my kids about the man in red lol

Haha this FML kind of reminds me of the movie "Bad Santa". I love that movie! :)

Santa's a little bitter from delivering far too many gifts.

Whether they believe or not, you can still make Christmas magic. I never believed in Santa, but I sucked in all of the fun of believing. After I told my mom I didn't believe, she told me that Santa was a game of make believe that the whole world played. So every Christmastime, everyone plays make-believe. I never felt anything but joy at Christmastime. Yes, we were religious, and we lost it. But we never had a problem making it meaningful. It was not about Jesus, but about loving each other and making the season as wonderful for each other as possible. So, about the Santa--we would have made up a story about him being an imposter just out to make money. The real Santa would never smoke Marlboros. The real Santa smokes a pipe--and he didn't buy what he put in there at any corner store, if you know what I mean.

Just tell him it's easy to dress up, but the real one still exists if you behave and believe... how hard is that?!?!?!?

just shows how bad the identity theft problem is

Wow, it's sad how many people think YDI for telling your kids about Santa
