That's one teacher I'd surely show the door. Maybe something she also doesn't know that Santa not only exists, he even exists on MySpace: http://blog.myspace.com/santaclausiswatching

That teacher should be ashamed of themselves. It's not their business to cheat a child out of the dream of Santa Claus. She must be on uptight teacher. Reality comes soon enough, she doesn't need to be a grinch or a scrooge.:-?
