for mean kids trying to spread their "there's no Santa Claus" propaganda to my kids?
To quote Dickends, "If I had my way about it, they'd be boiled in their own pudding, with a stake of holly through their hearts."
Grrrr.....

Those kids are non believers and that is okay. Your family knows the magic of Santa. My kids think it is funny that parents go out and blow lots of cash on loads of crap in the name of Santa. Everyone knows that Santa can only fit one gift per person in the sleigh. Therefore if there was no mysterious gift meant only for you under the tree you were on the wrong list. Those kids that don't believe are already being punished. We know the magic and they don't.

I would talk to your child to find out the exact circumstances. Regarding the alcohol, they may have been put on the spot and pressured by friends to let them drink it or drink it themselves. If that is the case then you have some self confidence issues to work on separately. As for punishment. I would definitely find your child's currency and take that away from them. Figure out what is most important and that is what gets removed. Even if it's an upcoming dance or family trip. They should have to stay home. If you have other children this will definitely set an example to them and you will less likey have problems with them in the future. Where the other kids are concerned that drank you alcohol, I would consider talking to their parents and if you are not comfortable with that then simply remove the alcohol from the house when you are away. Then you can't be held responsible. If they bring it into the house when you are not there, then you can not be held accountable for contributing to them. Then if it is a case where your child was pressured, I think they should still be punished, but because they could not stand up for themselves, poses as another problem for them. And that is where you step in reassuring them that sticking to their beliefs and parents rules will not only earn them self respect but the respect of their true friends.

I think that it is sad that we have lost so much of the magic of Christmas. There was truly a Saint Nicholas. You can look him up and read about him. Truly a wonderful man. Maybe try talking to their parents, but sometimes that is where they learn the things they are saying to your kids. Just tell your kids that it is okay to believe and that you still do. So that makes you very special and very lucky, because Santa Claus is extra nice to the people who still believe no matter what their age is. Keep the spirit alive.

I think the best part about children and Christmas is the innocents they posses when believing in Santa, but like one of your answers said...It's moping up after the damage is done. The anger is not at the children who are telling you child there is no Santa, the anger is knowing that your child is losing their innocents in the anticipation of a Santa.
Enjoy what you have today with your child, don't allow others to take that away

My little girl LOVES everything about Christmas, and I'd be upset if some snot-nosed brad told my girl there's no Santa Claus.

The thing is after the deed is done you can only mop up the mess. It IS one of the meanest things for a kid to do, though. My oldest granddaughter was told by her step Mom. Yeah, we really LOVE her (she says with GREAT sarcasm)!

My daughter came home crying in a tizzy. When I asked her what was wring and she said she felt terrible for her friend, I asked her why. She said her friend wasn't getting any presents for Christmas, I asked why, she said her friend was just being a meanie head and said there was no Santa. I told her that it was the girls problem for not believing , and she said yeah but if you don't believe he won't come and bring you gifts. In my head I was screaming YES! YES! YES! my baby girl still believes!! Ahhh it was a wonderful feeling!

My My ! Nasty aren't we?? You have no right to "punish' anyone else's kids.
Just tell your kids, there is a santa in your neighbourhood.
