Santa is, or Santa is not. Reason cannot decide between the two alternatives
A Holiday is being had, where presents will not or will turn up. You must participate in Christmas (it is not optional).

Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that Santa is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you get gifts, you gain all; if you don't, you lose nothing.

Wager, then, without hesitation that Santa is. There is here infinite holiday spirit to gain, a chance of gain against a finite number of chances of not being merry, and your potential presents are finite. And so our proposition is of infinite jolliness when there is the finite to stake in a holiday where there are equal risks of getting gifts and not, and infinite merriment to gain.
What if Santa is in a Quantum State?
 
He watches all year and records if you were naughty or nice, he's the ultimate archiver.
Does that mean that some day @Null will receive an invitation to become the next Santa Claus?

Fuck are we gonna get recruited to be his Black Ops Elves who help him keep records on naughty and nice?
 
Yes, i work in post and every year on December first a one S. N. Claus is put in as acting CEO of all post companies in the world and we carry out orders directly from him. Any Santa deniers are listed, have their names passed to us and have their pacakeges 'Delayed', 'Lost' or stolen from porches by tactically deployed grinches.

So be nice, jolly, festive and experience Christmas cheer.

Or else.

Singed,

Santa's Top Guy.

Merry Christmas!

That Youtube video in the poll scares me.

> La Reina de los Niños

From the channel description. Guess it's OK because she's not a drag queen. Those poor Mexican niños.
 
Curious if people who have kids or who plan to have kids what their opinion is on the SQ. (Santa question). Would you keep it up and when would you reveal the facade?

When I was a child, my mum basically answered my question of Santa being real at around 3/4 honestly (I just asked questions about stuff endlessly). So I don't ever remember believing in Santa.

I do vaguely remember an incident in early education where I basically ruined it for most of my class and also thought my teacher was really dumb as she insisted he was real, not realising she was just trying to save the magic, not that she genuinely believed in it.

I've also seen the flipside of it, had two friends (I was sworn to not reveal it to them) who kept believing probably longer than they should. They actually got angry and said their mum was lying when they were told.

So I'm honestly a little torn. It seems fun but at the same time I think in current time's learning how to know some truth and realise that it can wiser to bite your tongue is itself a valuable skill to teach Curious what people's own perspective is.
This is why it's good to have more than one kid; the older ones gets the unpleasant job of telling the younger ones. No adult should relish or enjoy making the magic die in a child's heart.
