Some parents have been working non-stop from the start of December. Elf on the Shelf, writing letters to Santa, making costumes for whatever program the school came up with this year. It's like a marathon, and I didn't even mention getting presents for everybody. So it's understandable they vent their frustrations online.

That's why we decided to bring you the funniest posts on X (Twitter) from parents about Santa. Children have a unique perspective on that whole ordeal about a man who supposedly "watches you when you sleep" and somehow knows if you've been good this year. And parents sometimes have the funniest reactions to their children's hot takes. So check out these Holly Jolly posts from parents about Santa that we picked out for you, pandas!

Bored Panda reached out to two moms whose posts you will see in this list: Jillian, aka Mommeh Dearest, and the woman behind the Stories Of A Mediocre Mom page Amanda Marcotte. They were kind enough to tell us more about what it's like creating funny parenting content on social media.

    I get that some husbands are like this, but gift giving is just one of my love languages so I lean into Christmas pretty hard. I couldn't imagine just forgetting about Christmas randomly.

    I am bitter about many things my parents did. Letting me have Santa is absolutely not one of them. I loved that magic and am so glad I got to have it. And my parents were super honest about most things. Too honest. And jerks. Honesty isn't what builds the trust. It love and knowing that parent has you genuine best interest at heart. A super honest parent who's just involved in their own drama- not trustworthy. A parent who lets a child believe in Santa and loves them and takes care of them- totally trustworthy.

    Last night, my sister told my 5 year old nephew that "The fat guy in red is coming with presents for him soon" and he looked at me and asked if I had red clothes and i said without thinking "I have a red T-shirt" His eyes went wide and he looked at my sister and said "MOM! HE'S SANTA!" I don't know how to take that

    He's had elves working in his R&D division for centuries now. He's using drone technology way ahead of our current level of technology so are completely silent, undetectable by modern tracking, and can cloak. He flies around in the sleigh like people ride their bikes or motorcycles or horses... for fun. Edit: And as a diversion to throw people off the drones.

    I had my daughter ask me this when she was little. I told her "Santa is created from the minds and beliefs of the children from around the world and he takes the form that kids will trust and love and that's why he is a jolly fat guy in red because that's what the first kids wanted him to look like on the first Christmas day and it has been passed down ever since"

    I really can't stand elf on a shelf. It's a terrible way to teach your children to conform. You're basically abrogationg your responsibility as a parent to a fictional being, and this can affect a child's mental health. If a parent doesn't have strategies to help their children learn then they should take parenting courses. Christmas is about joy, not about punishment.

    Googling it. Santa was born 15 March 270 AD. He became Father Christmas in the 1500s. He picked up the Dutch name Sinterklaas in the middle ages. That became the English name Santa Claus in 1773. His latest suit of clothing was made in 1931. He's not going to be Santa forever, some time in the future he's going to be 圣诞老人 , pronounced Shengdan. He got so bored that he started the tradition of Christmas in July back in the year 1938.

    Yeah, I was the four year old who pulled off Santa's beard, and shouted. "You're not Santa! You're a STRANGER!" That stranger danger campaign kind of ruined the photo op for everyone in line. I may also have accidentally kicked Santa in the mouth while he tried to give me back to mum. None of my younger siblings ever got subjected to the "Photo with Santa" experience, for some reason.

    Reindeer health and safety act - they're not allowed to land on the roof anymore, in case they slip and fall. They land in the yard, and they can't fit if it's full of decorations. If you're poor and have no yard, they have to land in the street, and Santa can only make one trip from the sleigh because he'll block traffic. That's why poor kids get less presents.
