Today, I was in the mall for the second day in a row with my 7-year-old brother. As we walked past Santa he asked me, "Why does Santa look different today"? Not thinking, I said, "Because each mall has a different Santa." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my 5-year old daughter to get a photo taken with Santa, when she asked the dreaded question of why this Santa looked different from one at the other store. Before I could placate her, some cunt of a kid yelled, "Because he's not real, dumbass!" FML
Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML
Today, I took the 6 year old I'm babysitting to the mall to see Santa after weeks of her begging. We got there in time to see him get out of his Prius and dress in the parking lot. FML
Today, I was talking to my sister about how I need to buy gifts from Santa for my daughter, when my son asked why I would be buying them instead of letting Santa bring them. My son genuinely still believed in Santa. He’s 22 years old. FML
Today, I brought my 6-year-old to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. She told him what she wanted and smiled for the picture. When the lady told her that her turn was over, she began throwing a fit, pulling off Santa's beard in the process. This caused all the kids in line to begin sobbing. FML
Today, I accidentally knocked over a mall Santa on his way to meet some children. I've never had that many hate-filled eyes on me at once. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Today, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML
Today, Father Christmas touched my ass in a shopping mall. I'm a bit worried about what's going to happen on Christmas Day. FML
Today, I saw Santa. He gave me the finger. FML

This is a great time when the old, "The mall Santas are just Santa's helpers" would come in!

The pressure of being first must have gotten to you. Oh, good. You edited your comment. To those who don't know, they had "Hi." just written down.

Some people just really want to be the centre of attention, and first.

Eh. I believed until I was 14. After that all the magic of Xmas poofed. :(
DracoSpirita 21
I believed until I was in sixth grade, and the bastard kids in my grade literally screamed in my face that Santa was not real. Kinda hard to believe after an incident like that.

You'll get the hang of FML soon you're young...I mean unless you got Tourette's syndrome then say whatever you want.

LOL, he had such a stupid and pointless comment. Not relevant whatsoever.
thatonename 7
Relevant or not, whenever I see the italicized "comment moderated" I just have to know what the person said. I go through the thread forever trying to figure it out. And I'm not asking anyone to repeat it. It was moderated for a reason, and I think you can get banned for reposting stuff like that...
OldMemoriesFade 8
Well, it was one word, and it's a part of the female body. I didn't exactly say it what it was, and my hint was pretty easy.

Personally, I accept that there may be Santa impostors. That's why I've made it my life's work to take a photo with every bearded old man I see; I'm going to catch the real Santa sooner or later.
lilhellian 27
How will you know the real one when you catch him?
kathbutter 12
what if you've already taken a photo with the real santa and not noticed?
