What a little brat! It's times like these that make me wish you could slap other people's kids.

No Santa! Blasphemy!

You said it OP. That kid is a ****.

Well, your kid will get over it soon enough. Try your best to convince her otherwise

Tell her that she' d better not pout, she'd better not cry and tell her why...

My husband and I have brought the possibility of this happening. To avoid it, we are telling our kids that Santa is very busy this year, so he hires people to dress up as him, and they collect all the kids' wishes and report them back to the real Santa. It's like Customer Service for Christmas Wish Lists haha

You could always take this opportunity to tell her how Santa came to be and why we have this tradition. It's not like there are too many years left before she really finds out Santa isn't real, it's kinda a shame that it happened this way, but it's not the end of the world.

You still could save this, because technically the **** kid's right and that Santa wasn't the real one. It was one of Santa's elves. Every store has one, and they listen to what all the kids want for Christmas so they can go back and tell their fellow elves what to make while the REAL Santa prepares all the reindeer for the long flight around the world, making sure Rudolph's nose is bright enough and that they're not sick and they've got enough food and such. Still, it's an FYL because you'd have gotten in trouble for beating the crap out of the **** kid for calling her that.

Sounds like he was raised by my former monster-in-law, the ice queen born again Christian that scolded me for lying to me children about Jesus and Santa being real.
