| 1594 | Article | fuschnikt | Ha! Yes! Nailed it. Also, looking on the internet, not the phone device, I realize that "centering" the images was proper and correct. | Dec 10, 2014 |  | |
| 1595 | Article | NLogan | My 9 year old is in the know about Santa this year. He wanted a really expensive gift that I can't afford right now. I didn't want him to be disappointed so I told him it probably wasn't going to happen. He immediately replies with,"No problem dad, I got it covered. I'll just ask Santa." My heart dropped into my stomach. I debated using the old, "You're lucky to have gotten anything at all with how you've been all year" that was used on me as a kid, but he is pretty good and not a trouble maker at all. I clued him in about why we give gifts and that Santa was a way for parents to give a little extra joy to their kids. I started out by telling him that Santa lives in our hearts not the north pole. I think he took it well. He then proceeded with the Xbox on down, "Was that you then yhat gave me that?" I told him I am waking him up and he has to help with the Santa duties and wrap his brother's gifts. He is excited to be in the secret club and get his share of Santa's milk and cookies. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1596 | Article | fuschnikt | That's fantastic, letting him be a part of Santa for his brother. I absolutely love that. I've read that some people are actually worried about backlash along the lines of, "you lied to me and I hate you." But I find that fear to be silly. You got it right with him. We aren't lying, it's about creating something fun and special for our kids to enjoy. Well played, sir. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1599 | Article | SockofFleagulls | Great story. Can't remember how old I was when I found presents in my parent's closet (mid 80s), but I do recall finding something G.I. Joe related. Never told them about it either. No recollection of Spinjas! | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1602 | Article | vkimo | Fun tale man! Maybe it was better you found out firsthand alone, that way you had time to process things. Had you opened that box thinking it was Spinjas your parents would have read the disappointment right away. Oh, and just looked on eBay. Spinjas complete set for 180.00 and a new in the box stadium for a cool 1k http://ebay.to/1z8umRK | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 1603 | Article | Vaporman87 | Holy cow! Apparently Spinjas are more popular now than 1990! | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 1605 | Article | fuschnikt | Dang! Thankfully I already have a set. Finally got it about four years ago. Just shy of two decades after the story. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 1608 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Great, feel good story. Spinja stress, has to be the best kind.I remember well the tales of elusive toys only available in another state where friends had just visited or used to live. For that reason I always made my parents stop at a toy store when we were out of town, just in case. It is awesome that your parents tried at least. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 11, 2014 | |
| 1622 | Article | comic_book_fan | i found out about santa when i was 6 by sneaking out and catching my oldest brother putting the present and the stocking up and he had eaten the milk and cookies. and about 2 years before that i had an experience kind of like yours except i saw my sister packing in my present the night they bought it and when i asked about it they told me santa gave them the present while they were at the mall to put up they told me he done that to all the parents there so it would cut down on his delivery time which was completely logical to me at the time. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 12, 2014 | |
| 1623 | Article | Vaporman87 | We parents can get pretty creative when necessary. LOL | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Dec 12, 2014 | |
