[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since we are talking about outing Santa... I thought I would warn people that Judy Blume's book Super Fudge totally talks about how Santa isn't real and only "babies" believe it is real.  The 4 year old in the book say this.

Judy Blume- who was raised Jewish: Said that she can't imagine anyone being upset about the book, because all children know Santa isn't real......sigh.....

Wow, OP. Blame her Judaism. That’s not prejudicial at all. It couldn’t be any other reason.

I’m Jewish, and guess what? A Christian told me that Santa wasn’t real. [/quote]

When you were 4?[/quote]

Is your kid reading Super Fudge at 4?

I had older siblings so I pretty much never believed in Santa or the Tooth Fairy.  If you pin so much importance on your kid believing a fairy tale, then yeah, you can't really be mad when the inevitable happens ... [/quote]

I had older siblings so I believed in Santa and the Tooth Fairy the longest.  Older siblings can take responsibility for keeping the magic alive, being in on the secret.

:roll: possibly, but you can't expect the rest of the world (including books written FORTY years ago!) to be responsible for "keeping the magic alive."  You  need to homeschool if you expect that level of control.  [/quote]

Umm, this thread is about one book, which is well-known as a Santa-outing book.  Pointing it out for those who are unaware isn't prejudicial.  It's just advice to parents.  [/quote]

No, it's an anti-semitic complaint couched as "advice" to parents.  [/quote]
