Throughout the year, parents stress the importance of honesty with their children. We aim to raise kids who value truthfulness, teaching them that honesty is always the best policy. Then December rolls around, and we flip that concept upside down with the grandest deception of all: Santa Claus.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with spinning tales about Santa; the legend of the jolly man in the red suit is a cherished tradition in many families and is typically seen as acceptable as long as kids are still in the loop. With this playful deception comes a host of amusing scenarios, as the witty parents of Twitter illustrate with these side-splitting tweets about the Santa story.
