Recently mothers across the nation decided it was time to change santas looks. He has been setting a bad example to children because he's fat and eats lotas of cookies. They are urging mothers to portray a leaner santa and leave him celery and carrot sticks. What is our society coming to when tradition cna culture needs to be changed because children have become weak? Where do we draw the line?

Dumb mothers that worry about stuff like that should just die of herpes. Teach your kids moderation.

Some people have too much time on their hands , so they dream up screwy ideas .
All illustrations in kids school books pictured Little Boy Blue , Jack and the Bean Stalk , Mary - Quite Contrary , and all the others dressed in mideval clothes . A few years ago , it was all changed . Someone said that the costumes were not of these times . They weren't for six or seven hundred years - - - why change now ?
Draw the line ? Never change anything just for the sake of change . Change when it is a definite improvement only . A skinny Santa and celery will not make the population thin .

The original "Santa" was a lean old man who walked around leaving fruit and nuts in kids' socks. He's evolved into a great big fat greedy icon for consumerism. NOT anything like the original Santa Claus. I think the idea of Santa coming down the chimney and eating cookies is kind of cute; after all, the kids are "giving" him something in return for all the gifts he's giving them. But the Santa image has bothered me for a long time - he represents serious greed, has nothing to do with Christ, and children are told to believe in him and then find out later that he's fake, and they're heartbroken. My parents always told me he was fake, but talked about him anyway like he was a fairy tale. It was fun, but people pay too much attention to Santa.

we draw the line at the moms are probably eating the cookies that the kids left for santa and lying to their husbands about why they are so fat to begin with that they claim that they are eating celery and carrot sticks and not cookies... so moms lay off the cookies cause santa is a big fat bowl of sexy!

LOL!!!
I agree, I have never seen a trim, lean Santa.
I appeal to all Santas to eat Carrot Sticks and Celery on thanksgiving day instead of turkey.

Is that the group Mothers Against Santa, Turkey, Uranus, Rabies, Bolemia, Anorexia, Tetanus, and Elves? Yah, I've heard of them.

that's crap.
As if little children are actually going to look at Santa and think "oh he's fat! what a role model!"
Kids don't give a flip what santa look like as long as he isn't scary. All they're concerned about is that Santa brings them their presents.

Your mom does no longer sound abusive to me. She is possibly feeling extremely some rigidity and rigidity because of the divorce, and of course she's unlikely to be feeling ok for a short whilst. supply up being the form of sufferer and supply up feeling sorry for your self. i be responsive to that's difficult, my mom divorced two times whilst i grew to become right into a baby and teenager, yet you'll be good and climate the hurricane. tell your mom she is hurting you, through all means, yet you may make adjustments too.

"All alone, or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
Some gathering together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall after all it's not easy
banging your heart against some mad buggers
Wall"
