Yeah, no kidding. Here I am, innocently opening up Metafilter, and BOOM!! Twenty one years worth of Christmas dreams, shattered.

Heh. Okay. Not really.

Next you're going to tell me there's no such thing as Mother Nature, Father Time, Mother Goose, Uncle Sam, Aunt Tenna, Brother Lee Love and Sister Sledge...

You better be careful with that Father Christmas stuff. Seems I remember Bill Bryson claiming that his sister, upon hearing that Santa Claus didn't exist, also stopped believing in the exisitence of the Easter Bunny, Indians, and bears.

At least I can still look forward to the completely real athleticism of professional wrestling.

C'mon now. Everyone knows that bears and indians are myths created by republicans to keep the working class in line.

Actually, tomorama, they only did that with "God" and the "War on Drugs".
