In a delightful twist on holiday cheer, a child’s amusing skepticism about Santa Claus has captured the internet’s attention. A mother, Emily Johnson, took to Twitter to share an unforgettable note written by her six-year-old son during a classroom assignment about Santa. This letter quickly became a viral sensation, showcasing the young boy’s candid and witty perspective.
The note, which highlights the child’s unique take on Santa, reads: “Dear Santa, I’m only writing this for my class. I know your notty list is emty. And your good list is emty and your life is emty. You don’t know the troubles I’ve had in my life. Good bye.” He concluded with the cheeky remark, “I’m not telling you my name,” and adorned the margins with doodles of wreaths and skulls.
Johnson humorously noted that the “troubles” he referred to were nothing too serious — certainly not the kind of problems one would typically share with Santa. The letter has elicited a wave of laughter from Twitter users, many of whom chimed in with their own stories of children who have a similarly cynical view of Santa or life in general.
As a parent, Johnson finds a deep connection to her son’s perspective. Children who question the norms often bring a refreshing honesty to the world, seeing it through a lens that is both humorous and slightly more mature. This candidness can be both tiring and enlightening for parents.
While a response from Santa remains to be seen, one can only imagine the big guy reflecting on his life choices after reading such an insightful critique from a young skeptic. Regardless, there are still many children and adults who hold on to the magic of Santa, even if this little one has figured out the ruse.
