So my daughter is 3 now and Christmas is coming and she doesn't know about Santa Claus.
My things is, she never has to know about him.
Why?
Because I was molested as a child and now as a mother I trust no man around my daughter.
And it is not even a question if I would let her sit on a complete strangers lap, YUCK!
Like for me it is perverted and I can't allow it. She already knows that she is only allowed to sit on her dad's lap but she's so active that, that doesn't happen too often.
Some men only have to look at a young girl and get aroused so imagine if you let your daughter sit on his lap. We do not know the man behind the Saint Nick get-up, and how can we trust it.
Oh malls wont hire perverted predators to imitate Santa Claus, how can you be so sure?
Well according to
mindflash "
almost all mall Santas must pass a background check to make sure they don’t have a criminal record."
NO, NO, NO!
I mean they teach you to run and scream if a man approach you trying to give you candy but parents will rush their children to take pictures sitting on a complete strange man's lap. Ironic!
But back on topic, she never has to know about him.
Why?
Because, if we did celebrate Christmas I would tell her I bought her presents, instead of giving all of my hard work and credit to a fictional character.
Lies, never makes anyone feel good. So if you think back to when you were a kid you'd be all excited to put cookies and milk out for Santa, and wake up with presents.
Then look at how things changed once you knew. The excitement went away, and if you were younger when you found out your little spirit was crushed.
I am my daughters protector and protect her I shall.
No lies, no BS you have to know better to do better. And I don't want to see that little sad look on her face later once she find out mommy lied to her.
That's just me and "My Random Thoughts"!
