I'm sorry to be the bearer of such devastating news, especially as it's so close to Christmas, but I'm afraid no-one will be getting any presents off Santa Claus this year...
A PRIMARY school sacked a woman teacher for telling heartbroken nine-year-olds there is no Father Christmas.
Parents were furious when tearful youngsters went home saying they had also been taught elves and fairies did not exist either.
The supply teacher, in her 30s, had her contract terminated after complaints to the head. Mum Amanda Piovesana, 30, said her daughter was shocked to be told: “You are old enough to know there is no Santa or fairies. If you ask your parents they will also say there is no such thing.”
Amanda said: “It’s taken away the magic.” The mum of another pupil at Boldmere Junior School in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, said: “Everyone is disgusted.” Head Diane Thomas-Wood confirmed: “We have followed up the matter with the agency.”

I agree, I can't even remember when I belived in Santa. I've kind of always (not always..can't be 100% sure I didnt belive in it when I was 2-3 years old) known that it was just some guy dressed dressed up.
