I fucking LOVE believing in mystical things we all agree aren't real. I LOVE sharing a cultural idea with many different people around the planet. Most of all, I fucking LOVE implanting the idea that you can't blindly trust authority figures in children when they figure it out. I love you Santa.
wait wdym 'not real'
Idk how ironic this is, but as someone whose parents raised them without any religion I honestly kinda appreciate having at least some experience with losing faith like that lol. Santa wasn't the pillar that held up my perception of the world or anything, he was just a guy that I thought was cool and then realized didn't exist one day. It was kinda scary for a second though, I was afraid I knew too much and my parents and/or Santa might get me in trouble for not believing xD
