Lies we've told in the name of Christmas

I was thinking of a few I have told, what little lies have you told to keep the secret?

DD: "Why do we have the same wrapping paper Santa used in the cupboard?"
Me: "Well of course we have it, the Elves make all the wrapping paper to sell in the shops so Santa has money to buy materials, toys and gifts for all the children"

To DS "Every time you misbehave Santa takes one of your gifts out of his sleigh, now imagine how many presents you would have gotten if you had behaved yourself this year"

DS found a toy in my bedroom "No thats not for you, I am minding it for a man at Daddy's work who bought it for his little boy, if you're a good boy maybe Santa will bring you one"

lol no lies worked on us. we could ALWAYS find the "hidden" gifts before christmas. We figured things out pretty fast

Kid: What if we don't have a chimney? How does Santa get in the house?

Parent: They sell keys now just for this purpose. Comes in a nice velvet case.
I had gotten one for my son for the grandkids and they put it out every Christmas Eve.

Ha, my Mum ended up giving our gifts to our neighbour to hide in their house because I would always find them lol.

I saw one of those the other day, we made a "magic" key to hang on the door for him - not many chimneys over here lol.

My middle DD made me laugh the other day she informed us that "Santa and the Elves make all the toys and gifts at the North Pole........ except the ones with copyright" ROFL she's 8.

SO funny. Never had kids so never had to be this inventive!

LOL Im glad I havent had this yet. However I have told a fair few to other children.

"Santa operates a catalogue service. You write to santa telling him what you would like for Xmas, if you are good Santa brings you the gifts and then mummy and daddy pays him!" - this way Mum and dad actually get some glory too.lol

I also told one about Mums having potato powers. This means every time a child is very naughty one of their favorite toys turns into a potato. Only if the child is very good does mummy get her potato powers to turn the potato back into a toy. But if the child is still naughty and their potato gets broken of goes mushy then the toy is lost forever. This means kids actually try to be good.LOL - I can be so evil. heheheheheheheh

By the way Dads dont have potato powers, or grannies. So no good going to them asking them to turn your potato back into a toy. Only mummys!!

These are some really creative stories, you guys! I've been chuckling since I read it about the wrapping paper and I like the keys in a velvet case and catalogue service too! Our kids are older so they're maybe telling stories to their kids, I don't know.

Pretty funny though!
