[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we knew that when we read it. I've got to agree with some of the other pp's - in my generation we didn't have Santa going "on, and on, and on..." I stopped believing in Santa fully, by the time I was seven and heavily suspected, prior. I have a friend whose 6th grader believes in Santa- and I'm sorry, but that's just dumb. How do kids even understand the power of a dollar if they think some magic man slides down their chimney to give them stuff? I think this kid is putting his mom on for more gifts or is not being allowed to grow up. [/quote]

Seriously.  I feel like some of these kids are going to be close to getting their learner's permit, and their parents will still be insisting they believe in Santa.  I wonder if these parents encourage critical thinking/questioning in other realms or not.[/quote]

I know right? My DS (6th grade) tells me some of the things he overhears kids say at school (holy moly) - plus the "puberty training class" (that's what we called it) that he sat through last year where some kids broke the unspoken rule and started asking a lot of highly specific questions.

but Santa, really? [/quote]
