In many holiday movies where Santa does exist, how do the parents not know?

Because the movies are for kids. They don’t necessarily have to make sense.

Maybe the parents collaborate with Santa to make sure they don’t get their kids the same thing.

Santa is real.
Haven’t you watched The Santa Clause?!
The one with Bernard, the hot elf.

@rangerr Seriously hot:)

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

Anybody familiar with anagrams knows who the man really is. That dude messes with your mind from the get-go.

The point of christmas is of course greed, fighting about who ate the last chocolate in the box, and why you don’t call your mother as much as your sister. It’s all due to the red nosed man.

But we are protected by some regulation. If you read the constitution, the first paragraph of the Santa clause clearly states that he is not allowed to come through the door, or touch you in the sleep. That’s why he comes through the chimney, going for the eggnog.

@oratio mind. blown.

@oratio Possibly the greatest answer ever written by a man who looks like Rainn Wilson.

Ach ja, er ist mein Doppelgänger.

I dunno. I think this is a hell of a lot more doppelgangerish!

They try to make it seem as though as u get older, you stop believing, even if you’ve met him in person as a kid. that’s just how those movies role =P

It’s called willing suspension of disbelief.

What do you mean he’s not real???? Thanks for ruining christmas @erichw1504. Usually people give a spoiler alert in the title before unleashing such big news.

Oh come on, you’ve seen the movies. Parent’s choose not to believe and since they have no magic left in them they aren’t allowed to know. Hehe.

My favorite Santa in the movies:The Night The Reindeer Died!

Santa is magical. Especially one from Hollywood. How do you explain magic?

It’s so simple actually. When we’re kids, we receive presents from Santa, and they are really presents from Santa, but Santa when he comes into your house on Christmas Eve, well, let’s just say presents aren’t the only thing he leaves behind. What he does is he has one of those things like in Men in Black, only instead of wiping out your memories, it adds extra memories. So he goes into your parents’ room and presses the button, and it automatically implants a false memory in the parents of actually buying and wrapping the presents and putting them under the tree. So the next morning the parents remember buying these presents and they think there’s no Santa, but the kids realize the truth. All that footage of course ends up on the cutting room floor, you know, to speed up the pacing.

@dalepetrie I read that in a Buddy the Elf voice. It all makes sense now.

Come on, we’ve had these discussions before. Santa Claus is based on a real historical figure. Modern Santa Clauses still symbolize his act of secret gift-giving.

@mattbrowne Thats cool, but maybe you should reread the question.

Thanks for the tip.

Wow, I’m really kinda annoyed that I’ve never thought of that before. But yeah, like @J0E said, they’re made for kids. They don’t have to make sense.
