But SANTA? The obese imaginary child molestor-type guy who is a symbol of the rampant overcommercialization of Christmas?

You care about perpetuating the false notion of SANTA?

Un.fackin.beliveable.

LOL. This.

This is such a non-issue. I can't believe it's been going on this long.

It's really unbelievable that supporting the myth of Santa is more important to some people than spending time with family or the cousins having time to form a relationship with each other.

Fantasy shouldn't be more important than the reality of family.

Why can't that family play along? The magic of Santa was what made so many wonderful memories for me.

Christmas is wonderful without Santa as well. Really.

We don't do santa but our next door neighbors are 100% sold out for santa and the elf on a shelf. We've told our kids to try to avoid the topic but it's so darn hard at times.

Especially when the other family tells my kids they won't get presents since they don't believe in the elf. Tolerance is a two way street.
