They probably didn't. His elves are slaves working for less than 20 cents and hour
Why sack an elf when you can force him work harder...perhaps in other areas?

This is the point i show my complete ignorance and have no idea of the value of 20 cents!? Though to be fair i am a mere Brit who as never escaped outside of Europe.....
This said I HAVE been to Lapland and visited Santa's village so i do feel at least partly qualified to comment on this thread
And on a side issue the elves looked pretty well fed and taken care of to me.....and they were a lot taller than i imagined! Infact they were all taller than me as I am only 4ft10!.Perhaps i missed my life's true calling.I wonder if there is an age cut off point where one can hand their resumé to Santa!?

Those elves were just an illusion
The real elves are working in factories making stuff to deliver to all of us

awwww...you know how to burst a girl's bubble! And there was me thinking i would look good in the elf costume....you wouldn't happen to know if the position of tooth fairy is open do you? Though i would have to shape up my knowledge of currency for that position!

Then who leaves all my presents under the tree? and does this mean I can be bad all year?
Jk.
Come on it's part of being a kid isn't it, I cried when I found out he wasn't real but it is part of growing up.
Kids believing in Father Christmas is part of the magic of Christmas, It gives us adults a warm glow to see the kids believing in him.edit on 26-11-2012 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

If I have kids I am most certainly going to continue the Santa myth. Some of my best memories were Christmas Eve waiting for Santa to come, and I wouldn't want to deprive my child of that. Childhood, fun times.

So you lie because it makes you feel good inside? Interesting.

if people don't want to believe in santa anymore, that's fine, i guess.
Same for the Easter Bunny et al.
In our house we still believe. And everyone still gets presents from Santa.
To each his own.
