You can’t tell the truth all the time. I knew Santa didn’t exist when I was a kid. Santa is an American I thought and we don’t have much of them in Asia that time. Santa must’ve been eating all day just for Christmas.
Primary school teacher who told children: ‘Santa does not exist’ is fired
A primary school teacher who left a class of 25 pupils in tears after she told told them Santa Claus did not exist has been fired…
When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa, the supply teacher blurted out: ‘It’s your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.’
The class of seven-year-olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School, Royton, near Oldham, Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.
One father said: ‘My son came home and said that his substitute teacher had told the class that Santa doesn’t exist and it’s your mum and dad that put out presents for them.
‘My lad was in tears and so was everyone else in the class – especially as it was so close to Christmas.
‘I thought it was wrong. He was distraught about it. He’s only seven-years-old and it’s part of the magic of Christmas to him.
‘We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he’s fine now.’
The father described the incident as ’shocking’ and believed it was done with malicious intent.
‘A lot of parents were disgusted and complained to the school.’
The school has now said it will not hire her again. (Source: Dailymail)

I’m too late for wishing everybody happy christmas. I hope you guys enjoyed your christmases. I’ve been busy being happy during this christmasy season. Christmas eve’s been great too, had lots of food with lots of people.
This season the christmas trees look prettier, a couple of more unique ones, including this:
(Christmas tree in pink at The Cathay, Singapore.)
And lots of salvation army bell sounds which annoyed me more than anything. I know it’s for a great cause but I don’t like bells. I don’t like bells.
(Happy boxing day guys!)
Singapore is one of the commonwealth countries not celebrating Boxing Day. (Image source of boxing match is Wikipedia, Ricardo Dominguez (left) rallied late to win a decision over Oregon’s Rafael Ortiz in the night’s toughest fight.)
Tomorrow’s 27 December already, a lot of things to do already. I kinda spend too much time going out this season. It’s terrible, my work, both Widgeo.us and school are piling up. I don’t like bells.
It’s just driving me nuts, shopping malls are all playing Christmas carols and it’s really starting to get annoying. They’ve played this much of kids singing through the speakers in the toilet. I hear kids singing loud and clear in the cubicle. So annoying till it actually made the hand-dryer machine sound like music to me.
I don’t know if it’s just me, the music seemed louder too. When is Christmas going to end? To me, Christmas seemed more like the time to earn quick bucks, just tons of marketing and discounts all around.
