Today, while my boyfriend and I were talking with his sister-in-law about a TV show, his 6-year-old nephew walked up just in time to hear how Santa killed the protagonist's parents. I've never seen such a heartbroken face in my life, and now he won't stop asking if Santa kills people. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my little sister came home crying because someone had shown her a video about the Slender Man. Trying to calm her down, I explained to her that he wasn't real, just like Santa Claus. She looked up at me and said "Santa's not real?" It's been 3 hours, and she hasn't stopped crying. 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, my 4-year-old son is distraught. This morning we saw a man, dressed as Santa, passed out drunk on a public bench. My son is now convinced that it was his corpse, and that Santa Claus is dead. 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, my fifteen year-old son decided to tell his little five year-old sister that Santa isn't real. She now refuses to talk to any of us and thinks "her whole life is a lie". FML
Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML
Today, my older sister forced me to tell my nephews, 8 and 6, that Santa Claus does not exist, because she was recently fired from her job and is too much of a coward to tell them she will no longer give them any Christmas gifts for the foreseeable future. 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, 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

Tell him that it wasn't really Santa, that it was someone pretending to be Santa, but they got caught and are in jail now and will be forever (it's simple and to a kid that age, pretty believable). Nobody likes imposters ;).

would hate to see his reaction when he finds out Santa isn't real.

Oh come on, #34, it's fun to believe in Santa when you're a kid.

Santa may not be a killer but you sure killed his view on Santa.

Santa IS a killer. Haven't you seen the movie Silent Night?

Sounds like someone's getting coal this year

Honestly I'm quite surprised a 6 year old still believes in Santa, a discussion of my friends recently none of their 6 year olds believed even with the parents trying to convince them.

I think ages between 6 and 9 are when kids start figuring it out the most, though I know some parents who try to keep the magic going even longer than that. my sister and I found out around 7 and 8 from other kids. and my sister actually believed in the tooth fairy a couple years longer than she did in Santa.

Santa's hit list, for those times when the naughty list is just too good for some.

What's the big idea about having kids believe in Santa in the first place? Encouraging a lie during a time of celebrating the arrival of the Messiah? I don't get it.

You must be fun at parties.

Firstly 35 not everyone believes as you do so shut the **** up about what others can tell their children.

#39, ok, that's firstly. What's secondly? #36, actually, I do like some Christmas functions.

Secondly Christmas isn't a celebration of the coming of any Messiah. It is more a celebration of a religion brutally forcing innocent people to change their beliefs simply because they had the power to do so. Happy? smart ass.
