Let kids have their magic. Childhood is fleeting.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
That anybody is complaining about this is amusing
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I'm not stalling anyone's magic I was just puzzled because I thought those kids don't care about Christmas. I mean even a lot of Christian countries don't care about Santa today because they expect him in two weeks. But apparently, according to Wyrd of Gawd, everybody's crazy about Christmas: Jews, Hindus, Muslims etc. My bad, I didn't know that. You know I remember watching Adam Sandler on (I think) Conan O'Brien when he was promoting "Eight Crazy Nights" and he said how in school he would draw Hanukkah drawings while others drew Christmas and he got bullied because of that. I wonder why he did that and didn't draw Christmas instead since Jews are also big about it. I think I'll ask him on twitter and I tell you what he said.

I think Santa should get more respect. He has a trying job.
