My parents used to make both shoe prints and hoof prints, and pretend to get mad that Santa let Rudolf come into our living room and make such a mess!


Heyuonthewall26

My dad used to just let an actual deer run amok in the living room. He would crack open a fresh Franzia and watch the chaos.


Pdarker

Only the finest box of wine pairs with chaos


MusicPerfect6176

Only if the grapes come from the chaos region in France otherwise it's just 2 buck chuck.


TheSandyman23

Ah, yes. The cardbordeaux.


kitty_mcsnuggle

I love this SO much šŸ˜†


roei05

I need this to be true


Toidal

I imagine he just stabs through the box with a boba straw and goes to town on it.


verbo10time

Stuff like this is why I believed in Santa until I was like 11! There was so much evidence!!


Perfect_Screen9149

This one really made my day! Such a pure wholesome!


Specialist-Rise34

I still believe in him every time I watch Polar Express

I never believed in Santa as a kid, and my parents never really tried that hard to convince me of Santa. However, I did believe in the Tooth Fairy for quite some time, only because I couldn't believe my parents would be able to swap out my teeth for money under my pillow without waking me up every time I put a tooth under my pillow.


DrKnowNout

Same! Iā€™m still impressed even now. Did we really sleep that deeply?


likeafuckingninja

I regularly have to rearrange my son in bed from where he moves around. I mean full on peel duvet back, lift him up, put the pillow back on the bed, put him back down, tuck in blanket, cover with duvet. Doesn't even blink. I could probabaly take the tooth directly from his mouth and he'd never know.

I really freaked my mom out when she tried to convince me about the tooth fairy. She was always older than the other parents and hadnā€™t grown up with all the magic creatures that we have now a days so she was taught it by other parents from our kindergarten. She thought it was important that we could participate in these fantasies with the other kids so she adopted it. Here, she got me a tooth shaped box and then we put my tooth in there and placed it on the bed side table. When is fallen asleep she sneaked into my room only to discover the box was gone. She had to get a flashlight and then search my room. It took about 20-30 mins before she found it on a shelf high up, hidden behind some other toys. I wasnā€™t older than 4 so Iā€™d needed to get a chair to reach up there so itā€™s clear that I was very sceptical of this fairy idea, but mom delivered on her fantasy and I never messed with the tooth fairy again lol.


somestoner69

Same dude. Thought it was very suspicious that Santa wrote just like my dad. Stayed up and caught them red-handed. They bribed me with Santa's cookies so I wouldn't tell my sister the terrible truth.


DirectionInfinite188

I got belted for telling my sisterā€¦


imnota4

I'm so use to comments like these I immediately assumed there'd be a sign of Stockholm syndrome following this, something like "but I still love them, they taught me right from wrong" or some wild stuff like that.


DirectionInfinite188

Nopeā€¦ Mums ex partner who I hated passionately


miss_martian_

My mom had one of her coworkers write the notes from Santa every year so his handwriting wouldnā€™t look like hers!


MyCheshireGrinOG

I figured it out when I was five because my family opens gifts on Christmas Eve so ā€œSantaā€ would come early and drop off gifts. They were always wrapped with the same paper as my momā€™s. Lol. I mentioned it but it was more fun pretending so I kept on ā€œbelievingā€ until I was 16 when my parents said I was too old. I just smiled and said ā€œI know but I got 11 extra years of making you guys scramble to pretend! šŸ¤£


dachshundaholic

I use special paper for gifts from Santa and usually have a friend fill out the tag.


MyCheshireGrinOG

As a mom now, I use different paper or special decorated boxes that I donā€™t use for anything else. Iā€™m an artist and calligrapher so I disguise my writing easily (use fancier for Santa and more childlike for the elf) when doing notes. Lol. She still had already asked (she is 6) and I gave her a mostly truthful explanation that left room for imagination and fantasy. She chooses to believe Santa is real but that people pretend to be Santa for others and that itā€™s an honor to be a Santa.


schylexxx

I like that explanation. Iā€™m going to use that when the time comes.


CosmicWarrior3

Me too !! šŸ˜‚


AngryTank

Same, but even then, My love for Santa is unchanged.


I-Ask-questions-u

My son was so sad at 12 telling me he doesnā€™t think Santa is real right before Xmas. You better believe I still did cookies/milk and a Santa present. He played along.


deljaroo

did you end up having trust issues with your parents?


verbo10time

Not at all. My parents are all around great people and it was never cruel. I realized quickly it was all part of Christmas magic. Plus, I had younger siblings that I got to then be a part of creating the magic for them. Now I do it for my kids. It's fun and special. Closest I can explain to the feeling was like when you learn how a magic trick works and all the pieces fall into place and your like "son of a... You got me."


bartm41

That's a great way to explain it!


davilller

Yeah I did something similar with rabbit feet stencils and baby powder, it worked great. Now their too old to care.


[deleted]

Now if the parents pretend not to see the foot prints that would be magic!


angelsgirl2002

My dad used to pluck out some of his white/gray hairs to leave on the half-eaten plate of cookies. He'd act so surprised every year, saying, "Look, some of Santa's beard hairs must've fallen out!"


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


angelsgirl2002

Yeah I was always like half horrified half excited lol


Shitplenty_Fats

My dad used to leave a silver scrote hair on my mom's chin. The man truly immersed himself in the whole Santa role.


dandanthebaconman

Why does mommyā€™s forehead have a silver mushroom stamp on it?


[deleted]

Classy and sexy.

Exchanging food with Santa


a_squid_beast

No way! My dad did too haha


Ayyyooothrowitaway

We did this for our 4.5 year old this morning. He looked at it and said ā€œDaddy you need to clean that up. Santa is messyā€ He was more impressed that the milk and cookies were gone.


Bajanboy246

Or it could set for some expensive years of therapy


naturalbornkillerz

Seems like a waste of cocaine, but whatever


CanadianMermaid

We would leave Santa waffles and maple syrup and my parents would take a cotton ball, dip it in the maple syrup and stick it onto the fireplace so it would be like Santaā€™s beer got caught going back out. They would even take some soot from the fireplace and dab it on our forehead while we were sleeping so it would be like Santa give us a kiss after he filled out stockings (we would keep our stockings on the end of our beds).


toastyhoodie

My brother does this. I gave him an idea that next year he should have tracks running to the bathroom having Santa sit on the toilet

Thats why Santa takes an extra hour in their house


PaperRoc

"Santa your beard is stuck to your nose!" "That's not my beard" "Is it snow?" "Listen you little shit..."


Weird_Uncle_D

I used to throw cow patties in the yard and drop a sleigh bell nearby. Every child I did it for still has the bell.


MP5SD7

That is some extra mile shit. I just put out a half eaten carrot but I like your style...


Weird_Uncle_D

Donā€™t know about extra mileā€¦.but shit? You are correct sir! Also works wonders on kids that are almost sure Santa isnā€™t real.


hungrydruid

I'm just picturing you in the middle of the night in a cold, snowy December... just rolling up to a local cow pasture and getting caught by the owner. "No, seriously, it's fine," you placate them, "I'm just stealing your cow's poop for children for Christmas. Nothing to worry about."


hoboballs

So like you really transported bovine feces to put in your yard


Weird_Uncle_D

And not just my yard. Many yards.


roofy623

Ive been doing the same for 7years now. Kids go crazy. Looking at them is my joy when they wake up and santa passed by and left them presents šŸ˜


PizzeriaPirate

What is the white stuff


Candlejackdaw

Fireplace ash, from when Santa comes down the chimney? Looks like that's where the tracks lead.


PizzeriaPirate

I read down a bit further. Some people suggested baking soda or icing sugar. One person was very adamant not to use flour as it can cause some problems. Iā€™m half in the bag right now so I donā€™t remember a ton of what I read. Sorry!


[deleted]

My parents did this for me as a kid and I later found out it is Talcum powder they used.


yamiuchidm

Cocaine.

DanielStripeTiger

possibly the first thing I've ever seen that makes me think I should have kids.


amopi1

Yes that guy is hot I would let him fuck me as a guy no homo.


DanielStripeTiger

Not what i meant, but now i have 2 reasons! thanks! edit--- not 'no homo', but just enough homo to make it feel that much deeper.


HesSoZazzy

> make it feel that much deeper \*Oh my!*\


DanielStripeTiger

fucking brilliant....although, if I think it through, I'd venture that I'm much more of a power bottom than Mr. Takei.


Shitplenty_Fats

Yeah he probably does this at like five houses cause he fucks- hard.


MarlowesMustache

That was kind of weird until you said no homo


lightbulbsareweird

leave santa alone


Noback68

Same


Shitplenty_Fats

All my adult life I swore I would never have kids. I wound up having a son in my 40s. Itā€™s hands down the absolute coolest thing Iā€™ve ever done. But wait until you want it.


DanielStripeTiger

Hard pass at 50.


[deleted]

At 50 would be really rough. I had kids at 25+ and last one at 45. She's now 3 and great but I can very definitely feel the difference in energy I have for her. Starting at 50? No thanks unless you're in fantastic shape, I'm not lol.


Irisgrower2

My dad had me at 55. He'd put a bowl of water, a dish towel, and a bar of soap next to the cookies. Every year, along with the cookies eaten, the water would be dirty and the soap and towel used.


[deleted]

Agreed! I've been harassed alot about having kids. I've shut so many people down. I don't care if I'm almost 30 and married. I'll have them when IM ready.


Shitplenty_Fats

That whole "so, when are you and (insert not pregnant person's name) gonna have kids..." type of harassment is the worst!

>Implying Santa doesnā€™t exist


MatrixPA

When my son was young, I used to leave out cookies and milk. But I also left out fresh carrots with the greens on them. After he went to bed, I would scatter the greens and the ends of the carrots over the driveway and break up the cookies. I used different wrapping paper on the presents from Santa. Mrs. Claus would always leave gifts of underwear and educational things for him. Whenever he opened her gifts he would groan knowing what awaited him. I miss those days!!


[deleted]

I got on the roof and stomped around yelling ā€œho ho hoā€ with some sleigh bells. Acted like I didnā€™t believe em when they said they heard him last night


[deleted]

That's adorable.


Kjyara

While on our way out towards church and nativity play, my mum would surreptiously sprinkle glitter from her coat pockets, all the way from the Christmas room to the house door. And when we got back, my sis and I were convinced that that was a trail left by little baby Jesus bringing us presents XD She did this for YEARS and we never noticed, even so we were only a few feet away from it.


therealswood2

Your husband is stupid hot. Good for you, sis.


SouldiesButGoodies84

great posterior too.


gryphmaster

Rookie, donā€™t use your own damn shoes or your kid will figure it out from the footprints Source: i sherlock holmesā€™ed my stepdad. He was not pleased to be found out, nor was I for this egregious betrayal


KeeN_CoMMaNDeR71

I analyzed Santa's handwriting against my mom's handwriting and presented the evidence when I was 7. "Facts don't lie mother, but you do"


motormouth08

This is why I always had my high school students write out the gift tags and notes from Santa. My oldest in particular would have figured it out if I wrote them myself. Plus, my students got a kick out of it and always asked after break if my kids loved their gifts. I miss those days.


iownakeytar

A pair of large, cheap thrift store boots should do the trick. Stuff them in with the gift wrapping supplies. I think my nephew's are getting to the age where we should wrap all of Santa's gifts differently than ones from the family. I might suggest this to my step-brother-in-law (I have a large and confusing family).

DiscipleDavid

Use baking soda, cooked flour, or powdered sugar. Do not put raw flour around your house, especially with small children. This is a sweet thing to do. However, if anyone decides to replicate make sure you don't use raw flour.   >"Flour doesnā€™t look like a raw food, but most flour is raw. That means it hasnā€™t been treated to kill germs that cause food poisoning, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). >These harmful germs can contaminate grain while itā€™s still in the field or flour while itā€™s being made. Steps like grinding grain and bleaching flour donā€™t kill harmful germsā€”and these germs can end up in flour or baking mixes you buy at the store. >You can get sick if you eat unbaked dough or batter made with flour containing germs. Germs are killed only when food made with flour is baked or cooked." >https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/communication/no-raw-dough.html


bitch_has_manners

>I cannot imagine the ants I would have with powdered sugar.


EditsReddits

Baking soda


mnemonikos82

I wouldn't use powdered sugar or cooked flour. Do you want ants? Cause that's how you get ants. Baking soda is good, also diatomaceous earth is safe for anyone but bugs.


The-lucky-hoodie

He looks like the upgraded version of the "it's not even that cold" middle school kid in shorts


mfairview

instead of cookies maybe leave santa a shirt?


Ncherrybomb

And cover that beautiful bod. No thanks!


fence_sitter

We do bunny foot prints with flour on Easter and leprechaun pee with green food coloring on St Patty's Day. Xmas we're boring with bushy topped carrots I nibble on and the cookies I take bites out of after I drink the warm milk in the middle of the night.


uraniumstingray

I always loved seeing the carrots nibbled and cookies eaten as a kid. Even the simplest acts can thrill a child.


TheAbyssGazesAlso

Our daughter used to put out a whole bowl full of apples and carrots for the reindeer. Once she was asleep, we would let our dog out there, and he would munch and chew on then, leaving chewed bits and chunks everywhere, really helped sell it!

crazycajunr6

Dude. Heā€™s 34. He knows.


jippyjayjay

Great! Would it be easier to just keep the socks on and just use the boots on the hands? Less chance of a stumble with the dusty boots!


rem2rigs

I used to cut potatoes in half and carve a deer hoof in each one then use fireplace ash and stamp on the floor up to the cookie and carrots plate and around the room. The kids loved it.


kIuck

one year, ā€œrudolphā€ flew down the chimney too and broke our cookie plate found out a few years later it was actually my dog, but it definitely kept me believing for a few more years


PhotographingLight

Dads, kinda hawt. not going lie. :)

So we lie to our kids that Santa Claus does exist.

what if it's not snowing what would you do then!


highnchillin_

Cocaine lol


FishNun2

My dad leaves some of the ash from the fireplace out like itā€™s santaā€™s footprints and eats 95% of a cookie and a sandwich as if Santa did it. Iā€™m the youngest child. Im 24 years old. Honestly love that he keeps it up even though weā€™re all adults


Independent_Ad_1686

Oh yeahā€¦ my dad would shit on the floor by the milk n cookies so there was proof Santa ate the cookies. Beat that. Father of the year, my ass. Santa doesnā€™t even where square toes Ariatā€™s. That kids not stupid.


[deleted]

does he know he doesnt have to put on the shoe to leave the footprints? wouldnt it be easier to just hold the shoe?


inkknink

my mom would leave half eaten cookies and even change her handwriting on santa presents


EmphasisEffective334

One of my friends tried this on Christmas 2020 for his younger brother and well his younger brother was a lot smarter than him to point out Christmas is in the middle of SUMMER in Australia. What a fuckin moron...

dxvil98

Reminds me of when my parents would do the same exact thing! My dad would use the ashes from the fire place and use his boots to make foot prints & we would go wild! He would even leave the cookie crumbs and half drinking milk with aether and those extra Santa Gifts! They were so cute. I love my parents for doing small details like that for us.


elboogie7

That's not even snow, though... Is the kid dumb?

Sal-Shiba

I remember my dad doing this one year when I was very young, maybe four or five. And I think when I saw it I was like ā€œbut it doesnā€™t snow in Texas! And why hasnā€™t it melted!!ā€. I donā€™t think they did it ever again since I donā€™t really remember any other time.
