#Santa isn’t real

[c0smic-coral]

Long story that I couldn’t cover in the tags below the cut:

I had a hunch for years, ever since I was like 6-8 that Santa was either not real or kinda stupid. I remember asking for a present one year (a playset of a sort) and I got a different one and that’s when my faith was shaken. Then a later year I got something I wanted that I never mentioned to my parents, so then I started believing in Santa again. I didn’t suspect the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. My parents always seemed clueless as to the whereabouts of the eggs and I’m a light sleeper so I couldn’t see one of my parents sneaking into my room at night. One Easter, it took me a whole month to find the last egg. Would Mom put me through that torture?

When I was 15, I just decided to ask my mom and after a bit of prying, I made her admit it. Both of my parents were my Santa and they were each others’ Santas. I asked her about the egg. “If it was high up, it was one Dad hid.” “It wasn’t high, it was in a basket under the table.” “I’m a bad bunny.” she said.

And then she had a few interesting stories about sneaking into my room as the Tooth Fairy.

So yeah it took me a while to really figure it out but I did.

Afterwards I insisted on also pitching in partially as my parents’ Santa by going to a store with a budget and buying the things, and I’d sneak in some things I wanted too and I’d just hide it all in a bag. It was a good way to practice spending money, as I wasn’t that much of a buying-stuff kid. Most of the stuff I got was through my birthday or Christmas, and if it wasn’t, it was new clothes my mom ordered.

The odd choices are the highlights of this Santa slasher. Or maybe...Santa wearing a Santa mask?

I can’t believe Santa Claus is canonically a Soriku shipper.

Me: “hey family, im not letting my kid think Santa is real and watching him all year so he’ll be “good”. It gave me extreme paranoia thinking someone was watching me 24/7 and when I was old enough to know he wasn’t real y’all continued treating me like a child. I’m going to find a way to incorporate Santa without my son thinking he’s a real person. Please respect that.”

My family: “but how do you know know he’ll turn out like you did?”

Me: “I don’t, but that’s the whole point of parenting. Why would I do something to my child that left me with lifelong paranoia that I’m constantly being watched???”

My family: “you’re taking away the spirit of Christmas 👹 lying and manipulating your kid into being good is what we’ve been doing for generations and we’re all fine”

if I was santa claus I would not be asking for milk and cookies. I would ask for juice or water or tea or anything else. I mean why would I possibly want milk?? Imagine coming home from your job where you had to fly across the whole fucking planet and deliver presents to bratty kids and they show their gratitude by giving you MILK!?? I would kill myself.

*in the tune of year zero*

Since dawn of time he decides who’s naughty or nice

He lives with elves on a workshop upon the ice

One day a year he gives toys to kids turn by turn

Climb down the chimney now, he lays the toys that you’ll earn.

So back when the new Voltron series was releasing my mom was super excited about it cuz the old series had been one of her favorite shows when she was a kid. She told me in Puerto Rico they didn’t get all the episodes in order or anything but she very enthusiastically told me the basic plot and she mentioned one of the characters going to a space hospital early on which is what leads the princess to pilot the blue lion.

A few years later I find the original original Voltron, which is actually called “Beast King GoLion”. We start watching and a few episodes in that character who supposedly went to the space hospital? Yeah he straight up dies. They hold a funeral for him. My mom was FREAKING OUT she was like “HE DIES?!? HE WENT TO A SPACE HOSPITAL IN MY VERSION?!” And my dad was like “…well did he ever come back?” And she was like “no! But I just assumed that was cuz we didn’t get all the episodes in Puerto Rico!”

So she’s texting all her friends like “guys did u know that Voltron guy actually died” meanwhile we’re pulling up the Voltron she was watching cuz we gotta see this right? So the beginning of GoLion starts with the earth being destroyed. The beginning of Voltron starts with some random planet being destroyed, but “luckily everyone got to their evacuation ships!” So it’s just stuff like that until we get to the death scene where, like she said, space hospital, and then these poor editors had to end the episode somehow, so they just use footage from the funeral that doesn’t show the casket or anything!

So yeah that’s how I ruined my mom’s childhood on accident 😭

I think it’s hilarious that we all think of Buck as great with kids (he is) but it canonically told a little kid who was probably like, five, that Santa wasn’t real cause he thought it’d be comforting 😭💀

Some of you will not enjoy your leftist utopia because you can’t let people believe in harmless things that you personally don’t believe in.
