Those who say that it'll kill their children's hopes and dreams are being irrational if you actually think about the fact of the matter.

I have three neices and no kids of my own unfortunately but there's still time for that..maybe...if I find the right woman who's bio clock hasn't expired or doesn't already have 2.8 kids of her own...but damn I'm really getting off topic. Anyway --- SANTA is in and the idea that this is somehow dangerous or michevous or egregious for a parent to spin this tale is a load. I'm perfectly screwed up and so is my relationship with my parents but that's got nothing to do with the fact that there is no Santa It still saddens me because I really want Santa to bring me a PalmOne Treo 650 for Christmas *fingers crossed*...maybe if I wish hard enough.
