After going through the fall of the cabal i kept getting this feeling that Santa was only created to distract us from Jesus during Christmas...No other religion has this, same with easter and a fucking rabbitt

Had two instances as a little girl that really turned me off about Santa. While my parents were shopping for kindergarten supplies for me, I wandered off to look at clothes. I glanced up in front of me and a few feet away was a man in front of me who resembled Santa. He began exposing himself and motioned for me to come to him. I screamed and ran to my parents who told store managers but my mom didn’t want police called “so as not to further traumatize me” Later the same year, my parents decided to take me to see Santa in the mall. A huge line of kids and me at the end. Just before me, Santa went to lunch and I never saw him. Never took my kids to a Santa either and they don’t take the grandkids. They say they didn’t miss anything.
I grew up in a very small town. We never saw Santa anywhere in our town growing up. I didn't start seeing a Santa until I was in my 20's and he was at the end of the Christmas Parade riding on a Firetruck. Now I see him everywhere. As a child, our parents taught us about Jesus Christ, his birth and the Nativity. We did have several churches in town with Nativity scenes and our father would take us to see them and the Christmas lights. Those were the good times in life I remember most.
The only special Christmas memories I have are of caroling in the snow with our church group in hayride flatbed around town then back to church for cookies and cocoa. Also our neighbor who would pull all of the neighborkids around in his field when it snowed with his tractor on a fiberglass boat top.
That sounds like fun. We did a nativity scene in church when I was about 13. I got to be the narrator and read the Christmas story from Matthew. It was the first time in my life I had an important part; or at that age I thought it to be important.
I love the thought of riding on a fiberglass boat top in the snow. I'll bet every kid around could jump on at the same time.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Christmas story plays we used to do. They stopped doing them about when I hit jr high for some reason
We did all pile on at once. There were 17 neighborkids. Then we’d take turns shoving each other off and racing to catch up and scramble back on.
