We’ve all met that one child who has very real questions about the feasibility of Santa Claus. This is especially true for children who are not being raised in the Christian faith or even children who happen to reside in homes that do not have a chimney. Some parents will work hard to maintain the illusion. Others are happy to let their children make their own choices on the matter.
The latter scenario can be a nightmare for families that have more than one child. It is perfectly okay for one child to be a skeptic, but they will often go out of their way to spoil the holiday for others in their family. The child in this story decided to send their skepticism straight to the source by writing a letter to Santa himself.
The best part of the letter is that the child makes it abundantly clear that they are only writing it because they were given the assignment by their teacher. The child lets Santa know that their naughty list does not have any names on it and that their nice list does not have any names on it. As a final parting shot, he tells Santa that his life is as empty as those lists.
We aren’t going to lie to you, but “I’m not telling you my name” took us right out. Of course, once the letter was shared on Twitter, there had to be some people who took the worrywart approach. Some wondered if the boy needed antidepressants. In our humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of healthy skepticism.
If you would like to check out the awesome story of a pitbull who DOES believe in Santa, then we urge you to take a closer look at the video below. As for the parents of skeptics, don’t force your little ones to believe against their will. They may develop a terrifying Christmas related phobia and that is the last thing that any of us should ever want.
