Today, my son told me the Christmas letter he wrote to Santa was a joke and he didn't want the stuff he asked for. I already bought everything. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. 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 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, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML
Today, I saw Santa. He gave me the finger. FML
Today, my husband still hadn't gotten me anything for Christmas, so I bought and wrapped my own presents. Then I had my husband write 'to me, from him' on them so that I won't be embarrassed in front of my family on Christmas when it comes time to open presents. FML
Today, my son told me not to be silly, because things like the Tooth Fairy and Santa don’t exist. He’s three years old. I guess we’ll just skip all the magical moments of his childhood I was looking forward to, and start the process of turning him into a soulless adult who doesn’t know how to have fun. FML
Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for my employees' children. After seeing all the others, my daughter's turn arrived. She sat on my lap, put her lips to my ear, and whispered softly: "I want a new dad." FML
Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". FML

You should return it and get him coal instead. ;) Serves him right for misleading Santa!

"Joke's on you, son! Santa's not real!" For real, though, you could always just donate it to charity.

Well OP you're the best mom/dad ever. I would just donate the stuff you bought for your son to charity and give him nothing. FYL

Give them anyway, to teach him not to lie. And the day after, give him one gift he really wants if he shows that he's sorry :)

letters to Santa are meant to be written much, MUCH closer to Christmas so it's a ydi.

What? I used to write mine in July.

This fml was posted early December, and Christmas lists, where I'm from at least, were written by then to give the "elves" time to make it.

Sounds to me like the ungrateful little asshole needs to get what he asked for in that letter

Return the items but keep the empty boxes and wrap them. And inside, write, "Nobody fools Santa. Nobody." and record his face. He will believe, forever.

Thats suboptimal. Letter to santa are there so that the parents have a easy way to know what to get their kids. Its 2 weeks before christmas when to write that letter when not now? A day or two before christmas you cant really react to the kids wishes and it will allways get something else but not really what it whished for. If OPs kid were mine and would belive in santa(it wouldnt because i wont tell that to my kids) i would just give it the gifts and tell it that santa doesnt change wishlists after theyre send and next tim it shouldnt send a fake letter and think about its whishes.

I like the way you refer to this child as "it".

I wasnt really referring to Ops Son, in that case using He is obvious. But rather to a Hypothetical child with unknown gender because i tried to generalize what i was saying. So he/she feels wrong. They is more fitting but actually plural. So it in a sense of "a child" was actually the most fitting. Im aware that it is kinda rude talking about kids using it to refer to them. But im not a native englisch speaker and in my language the equivalent of it is perfectly fine to use when referring to an unspecified child.

Teach him a lesson about lying and or misrepresenting himself and explain Santa is too busy preparing and delivering gifts to ALL the children of the world and he delivered exactly what he was asked for. Use this as a teaching moment to show gratitude. Then take him to a shelter and show him how many children are less fortunate than he is and have him donate one or two of the toys "he doesn't really want" anyway!!!

You should give it to him anyway. It'll show him not to play around like that. Or use your receipts and return them.

Maybe he lied so he could act cool or something like that.
