A CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SANTA

31 Comment

My kids believe so much in Santa. They believe he is real and brings them gift, for real at midnight, and they don’t have to stay up when he has to come. This Christmas night, my husband turned off the light from the Christmas tree, since we didn’t have gifts for them. When they woke up the next morning, as usual, they ran to the tree and found that the lights were off and there were no presents. They started crying so I got up, and asked them what the problem was? They both exclaimed at once and said ‘Papa turned off the light off the Christmas Tree and Father Christmas did not see our tree to leave us presence”. I was dump founded. But they kept on weeping. I went to the room, shouted at their father to their hearing and then we both laughed. It was funny, so these kids believe in Santa, we asked ourselves.

I don’t understand how thats funny. The poor kids. If I was struggling I would make sure there was atleast 1 present for them and I certainly wouldn’t laugh about it

WTF?! Poor kids!!!!! They are only young for a short amount of time, and only believe in the magic of santa for a few years, how could a mum and dad ruin it for them? I could not even think about bringing my kids to tears like this, and ruining their excitement on what is meant to be a day for the kids. Shame on you 🙁

I agree with everyone else very sad for the poor kids and you laugh about it?? if I couldnt afford anything I would still get them something and most likely cry about it if they were upset!!!!

Oh this story has made me feel sick to the stomach but hopefully the author can clear it up. I’m sure no parent would break their child’s heart in this way. Truthfully even during tough times I’m sure a $3 toy could go under the tree so that they have something to open

Oh thank goodness for the other comments on this page! I read this and didn’t want to comment because I didn’t have anything to say! I think we need some clarification because the story doesn’t come across in a very positive light.

Glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get the gist of this story Colleen. I think further explanation of this story is needed. I came to the same conclusion as Colleen about this story. Can the author please explain the meaning behind this story or are we correct in believing that you gave your children no presents, crushed their beliefs and then laughed about it?

I don’t understand this story, are you saying you were so poor you could not afford even one present, so you crushed their beliefs and laughed about it!
