Santa Claus is coming to town! Well... According to a 24 year-old drunk man in Kingston, Ontario, Santa isn't real. As adults, we very well know that. But for kids, it's the greatest time of the year aside from their birthdays and getting to eat 5 pounds of sugar filled treats on Halloween.
So who is this dream killer? Unfortunately, the police haven't released the identity of the real life grinch. Apparently, it strolled down during the parade telling kids that Santa isn't real.
Imagine the tears and tantrums those parents had to deal with.
As much as his alcohol level was to blame, "blame it on the alcohol" is a light weight excuse for the stupid things we as humans do all too often right? "I was so drunk I don't remember punching you in the face", "I was so drunk, officer, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to drive". Excuses excuses...
Many people who are NOT drunk actually don't go all out in trying to keep the Christmas spirit alive for the kids. We are so concerned with getting the presents and decorating the tree.
Sometimes, I think we need to sit back, relax and remember the times of our childhood when all we worried about were sharpening our crayons and being chosen first for Show and Tell. A time when we weren't at all concerned about car payments, cheating boyfriends, taxes and rush hour.
Kids have it made. Let's not kill their dreams huh?
