I'm sitting here watching Christmas Mass, getting drunk and high as gently caress, wondering how all of the good and correct Christian holiday observers trick their idiot children into believing Santa Clause is real?

Do they just go to bed and not think twice of the fact that you and your wife are up late moving poo poo around downstairs and yelling at them every time they come out to use the bathroom or get some water or whatever? How do you keep them out? Do you tell your kids not to come downstairs because you're butt loving by the fireplace, or some other stupid bullshit?

How do you fool the morons you have sired?

You should get some smarter kids who are willing to play along for the possibility of twice the presents.

All you really have to do is hire a homeless man to dress up in red and sleep in your house overnight one time. It's worth the bottle of smirnoff.

Easy, you just rely on your credibility as their protector and guardian, the one person in the world they trust their lives to and depend on, their role model and prototype they base their life on, and use it to brazenly lie to their faces.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

If you can't trick them into believing in Santa, what makes you think you can trick them into believing that you're a competent parent?

Make a habit of yelling at them every night if they make a sound or leave their beds after lights out. Then it won't be unusual on Christmas eve.

I SUCK AND LOVE TO YELL PERFORMATIVE HOT TAKES AND NONSENSE LIES WHEN I GET WORKED UP. SOMETIMES AUTOBANNED IS BETTER. MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN I STORM OFF I'LL ACTUALLY STOP SHITTING UP THE SITE FOR REAL
My parents used to put flour on the soles of my dad's shoes and make footprints in the carpet from the chimney, to the partially eaten cookies and drunken milk, to my mother's vagina, to the tree, and then back to the chimney. It was very convincing.

Trusted adult: "Santa is a thing."

Kids: "Wow, ok!"

Then when my kid was too old, and he asked why parents tell kids there is a Santa, I said, "Because it is fun for kids to believe in magic while they are still young enough to not be cynical about it." And that made sense to him.

That doesn't teach your kids to believe, you beat the fear of santa into them.

The night before Christmas Eve I eat three cups of glitter and then Christmas Eve I leave a huge glittery turd in the bowl and show it to the kids and say it must have been santa or an elf.

This is correct.

P.S. I was an incredibly cynical materialist as a little kid and literally never believed in Santa or God or whatever in the first place.

Some kid is going to hear from his older brother that there is no Santa and then tell all of the other kids in his class and then your dumb kid is going to start crying in front of the whole class because there is a santa his dad told him so.

I guess what I'm saying is setting your kids up to have their illusions harshly shattered by the real world is great parenting.
