[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, please.  First of all, Christmas is a secular holiday in the United States.

Second, why on earth would you cater to someone else's child, who believe in a made up story.  8-10 years old and still believing in Santa is one of the saddest things I've ever heard in my life.[/quote]

ONE THE SADDEST THINGS YOU'VE EVER HEARD IN YOUR LIFE!!!!

VERY credible, PP.   :roll: [/quote]

Yes. Any fifth grader who believes in Santa has some serious issues and I feel sorry for them. It's very sad that their life is like that. [/quote]

So many straw men in this thread. Nobody expects a 5th grader to still believe or anyone to coddle a 5th grader. But my sweet little 5 year old is ALL ABOUT Santa this year and yeah, I would be peeved if some a-hole just had to say IN the mall that Santa isn't real. [/quote]

Really?  Someone is an a-hole for not upholding your family's specific cultural traditions in a PUBLIC SPACE?[/quote]

Any public space in general- no. Don't care. Specifically the mall, where Santa is set up- yeah, that's annoying. [/quote]

But not annoying for anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas to go to a mall with their child and have to tell them, "Sshhh...we will talk about it later" or explain to them why they are only being surrounded by cultural symbols that have nothing to do with their own traditions but we can't discuss that because we might offend those who already have all of the power in the situation.  Yeah that's not annoying at all.[/quote]

Silly again.  Of course say loud and proud that your family doesn't celebrate Christmas.  You don't have to say Santa isn't real in front of other kids in order to do that.  But you know that.  You're just being obtuse. [/quote]
