A Final Rant Before the End of the Year

I was at a Solstice party last night when I head the terrifying news: There's a new "movement", and I was not consulted. Can you imagine?

The new movement: parents of small children will not "lie" to their children about Santa.

WTF?

Seriously. These people actually believe the studies that "scientists" have made, stating that children won't trust their parents after this "horrible lie."

Seriously?

I'm not scarred from having believed in Santa. I'm thinking most of you weren't, either. In this Hallowe'en fan's opinion, folks that tell their kids Santa is a lie are assholes. End of story.

Really, people? Santa Claus isn't about consumerism, though corporations have taken his image and used it to their best advantage. Santa is about giving to others. Period. Your kids understand this. Why don't you? Oh, wait! Have you been sucked in and deceived?

Is this about you, and not your kids?

Alright. I'm done, though there could be pages and pages of ranting about this topic and the idiocy I feel (very strongly) is associated with it.

Jeez! Next, they'll be saying the Great Pumpkin isn't real, either! Madness...

Anyway... I'll be back after New Year's, unless something newsworthy descends upon me.

Merry Christmas, everyone! And may Santa bless you all.
