It's that time of year. Kid asking their parent the dreaded question:
Is... International Laws real, because I see all these children being killed and starved and no one is ever held accountable?

What a fucking rotter...

'He told year 6 students, who are aged between 10 and 11, that Father Christmas was not real, prompting pupils to sob. He also said that their parents bought their presents and ate the biscuits left out for Santa'

#FlashbackFriday - The Santa Run

When I was 19 or 20, I realised that kids in the neighbourhood were no longer able to see Santa on the back of a fire truck, handing out lollies on Christmas morning. This made me really sad; Santa is for EVERYONE! So, I organised with my parents to step in and fill that void.
I didn’t have a firetruck, but Dad had a Ute, which in hindsight, just gave my endeavour an Aussie spin. I dressed my father up as Santa and put him on the back of the ute. I couldn’t give out mixed lolly bags as I didn’t have a commercial kitchen, so instead, I purchased (with the help of my folks), individually wrapped lollies, bags of chips and small toys.
I wore something Chrismasie, sat on a milk crate on the back of the ute with Dad and helped Santa hand out toys and treats to the all kids in the neighbourhood. We even took dog treats with us for any fur-babies that come out to greet us.
We continued this tradition for about 15 years before it become too difficult to continue both logistically and financially, but the best thing was, we actually had parents tell us that they remember Santa coming to them when they were kids – we had managed to do this across 2 generations and leave community with some very special memories of our initiative.
