This story is out of London. Any thoughts on this?

I think it was totaly miss guided and mean spirited.

"A primary school has been accused of spoiling Christmas for pupils after a lesson telling them that Santa Claus does not exist.

Children as young as nine were told that only 'small children believe in Father Christmas'.

And yesterday their parents criticised teachers for taking the 'magic' out of the festive period."

my daughter figured it out last year. it was a bit disappointing, but the average age in the US for kids to stop believing is 8.

i'd be a little frustrated with the school i'd imagine, but sheesh, it's the parents who have been perpetuating a big, fat lie for so long.

i think cubbie posted this for me last year after i was so devastated, 3 weeks before xmas, that my daughter was on to us. at our house, as long as you still believe, santa still comes, whether you are 8 or 80.

try this link.

And I think it is horrible!!!
This is not the school's job

There is no Santa Claus?????




I think it stinks

Sounds like someone who doesn't like Christmas wanted to spoil it for others...it wasn't their place.

BTW, did anyone else notice the story about the guy receiving a $6 million settlement for a work head injury that caused him to crave sex?

Up to the parents.... but I LOVE those scared of Santa pics; I remember them from last year... here's a direct link:

is this your way of claiming most guys have had head injuries in the past dear?

I've taken this stance since I 'figured it out' when I was little....

The spirit of Santa lives on, in the hearts of those who give gifts.

hammered and enjoying little kids sitting on their laps a little too much. Scary stuff.

That's what mom was worried about when me and my sister first started school. But damn, it wouldn't have been from the teachers. We put her fears to rest the first day of kindergarten, though, when we came home and asked her what a f***er was.

they're British.. they'd probably like it.

I can't believe these kids are that friggin' DUMB that they'd believe some fat slob could fit through a chimney with a huge sack full of toys and other crap.
How can they not be on to him? over 1 billion stops on ONE night in a little sleigh with junk for EVERYBODY?
I'm no scrooge, but COME ON! (Not much of a scrooge, anyway).

I figured it out when I was 8 and noticed that every time Santa Claus came to our house, my Uncle Jim's Rambler was parked in our driveway.
My father would tell me it was just a coincidence, while my mother told me the Rambler was Santa's present to Uncle Jim.
Then, when I got BOTH of my parents together, I asked them which one had been lying to me.
Watching them try to wiggle out of that one was more fun than watching a monkey screw a football.

NOW USE YOUR G.D. HEAD, KIDS-US FAT PEOPLE CANNOT GET DOWN YOUR STUPID CHIMNEY.
Now shut up, get to bed, and DON'T forget to leave beer & nachos out for ol' Santa. You idiots!

OH! And Merry Christmas.
