Re: Santa

[vethica]

Kids getting upset because everyone else says Santa is real and thinking their parents are lying.

Re: Santa

[tabaqui]

Considering that finding out Santa isn't real was a trauma for some of the people here, then i consider it a possibility that some kids *will* be upset at their non-Santa-believing parents when all the kids in their classroom believe (and say that non-believing kid's parents are wrong).

Mostly because presents!, probably, and the special things surrounding Santa (sending a letter to the North Pole, making 'reindeer treats', things like that).

Re: Santa

[(Anonymous)]

I think tabaqui is looking at it from the perspective of Western kids who "don't have Santa" not kids raised in/from different cultures who see Christmas as just a Western holiday.

If you're brought up outside the bubble of Western culture (which is by default Christian, or at least a certain type of Christian), you're not going to be coming home from school going "You lied to me! They all say Santa's real!" because your parents will have (hopefully) already sat you down and had The Talk with you, about how we believe something different than what a lot of people in this school/town/country believe, but that doesn't make us better than anyone else, and we have to love and respect others, regardless of what they believe, etc.

Re: Santa

[vethica]

No, dude, I am Western, though. I'm just not Christian.

Re: Santa

AYRT

Also Western here, but not "default Western Christian" so I grew up outside the bubble I mentioned. I think my point applies (or should, if the parents are half-decent at raising their kids), to any non-Christians in the state school system. (Which is the only place I can ever see tabaqui's hypothetical scenario taking place, and even then it's not plausible.)

...I think we agree? Or did I miss something?

Re: Santa

[vethica]

No, yeah, I think we do agree. My bad. My reading comprehension is not always the greatest.

Re: Santa

[(Anonymous)]

No worries. I thought I was coming across argumentative or something. :-)
