Hi Tony
Santa is now bored enough,old enough to entertain. Hahna, He has done it long enough to earn boredom. Well, That is a trotally new and original idea in itself. Great!

teacher, teacher, tells a story, scares the kids yet it's not gory.
seems a fat guy isn't real, kids freak out, what's the deal?
suzy cries, "i've been so good and never bad!"
teacher says, "you get your gifts from mom and dad."
suzy says, "okay then."

ho-ho-ho..! Wasn't there another fuss like this a few years ago, when a school principle did the same thing? Or was that banning the nativity play? Or carols? Christmas isn't like it used to be, and I guess we're not in Kansas anymore. That's why we need little kids, to keep it fresh.

ha ha . funny sonnet, well done Tony.
I am a Santa fan, with his tight red shorts and singlets, NZ style, very sexy you know. Just teasing. it is so drafty here, Santa should set sail, it is faster and more efficient across the seven seas!

I hope in the later lines of my sonnet I made my own position clear.
Not only does Santa exist, but I also support his right to do less as he gets older. Health and safety considerations must be paramount. We should accept that not all of us can be visited by him in one night. He has had to reluctantly downsize, especially with population growth and all, and now can only guarantee visiting our house once every five years. In twenty years' time, this is projected to reduce to once every ten years. Climate change also means that he will have to abandon the reindeer and switch to lions. He'll also ditch the warm hooded suit for a vest and shorts. Anticipating this, he is already on a diet. This is why he is cutting down on the whisky and cakes, although getting regularly stopped by the traffic cops on Xmas duty and being tested for alcohol is a major factor in this decision. The cops have threatened to prohibit his activities altogether if he doesn't remain sober. They know where he lives and track his movements in unmarked flying sleighs.
I think it might be time for my bed, don't you?

I don't think that a teacher should. . .
take the risk of shattering too many possible fantasies at one time, although I think that too-truthful teaching of history in any school, in any nation, could do just that. I'm sorry the teacher lost her job, but I do hope that she gets a visit from a vengeful Santa who not only leaves presents but drinks all of her cookies and milk.

Some days you simply make me smile. Today would be one of those days.
What? There's no Santa??? Surely you (and the teacher) jest!

Oh for crying out loud, like a nine year old really didn't know.
Still though, teacher shoulda kept her gob shut.
There's a girl in my daughter's class aged 10 who told a few of the 8 year olds Santa didn't exist, however this girl's mum is well involved with the Parent's Organization so guess nothing will come of that.
Nicely done.
