Time for a Change?

---

Why isn't ANYONE questioning this tradition? It has been so embedded into our society, some even consider it a “belief system.” Lying to little children is not a "belief system!" Unbeknownst to us, we have been indoctrinated into a cult. Our world is a mess right now… overdoses and suicides have skyrocketed, families are divided, mass shootings are becoming the norm, the rich just keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. Who is controlling our world? This tradition is destroying the parent-child bond and disconnecting us from each other. It is preventing us from really learning how to care about each other. It is truly psychological warfare. I have a link to a KGB officer telling us so below. We would have to be incredibly naïve to think that we have not been the targets of psychological warfare. It just keeps getting worse with every generation!

This tradition took off in the 1930s via a Coca-Cola commercial. This is not a “belief system.” Are you praying to Santa Claus when you are about to die? When I have said to people, “I don’t think we should be lying to children about Santa,” they look at me bewildered and confused. They can’t even comprehend what I am saying to them. If you know Santa Claus is not real and you tell your children that he is real, this is clearly a boldfaced lie. I have heard people say that this is a “myth.” If you are not telling your children this is a myth, you are betraying their trust. You are lying to them. Plain and simple. There is nothing magical about this! It is distracting them from using their own imagination and confusing them. We are being brainwashed! Aren’t we supposed to be teaching our children values and morals? Isn’t Santa Claus counter-productive to this? Lying to our children is mental and emotional abuse. People have endured so much mental and emotional abuse, they can't even recognize it anymore. I have endured so much, I finally decided I am going to figure out what is going on here. It starts with Santa Claus. This is clearly psychological warfare. 

If you are having trouble comprehending this and understanding that telling your children to believe in  Santa Claus is a lie, I'm sorry to tell you it is due to brainwashing. "Brainwashing—often described in psychology as coercive persuasion or thought reform—significantly affects comprehension skills by impairing critical thinking, reducing cognitive independence, and creating mental confusion. It actively damages a person’s ability to process information objectively, replacing independent judgment with obedient, dogma-driven thought patterns." The thought pattern that "Santa is magical." There is nothing "magical" about lying to our innocent children. We are truly stifling their creativity and imaginations because they are too busy trying to figure out if all these adults are messing with their heads. I am certain they could come up with much more creative and imaginative ways to create a better world to live in than being bamboozled by this fat man in a red suit. 

We've been bamboozled! This was designed to slowly demoralize, dehumanize and control us. This tradition is creating a dehumanized society that does not truly care about each other. They can pretend to care, but they never really learned what this truly looks like. There is very little compassion in this world because of this tradition. What manifests in a dehumanized society? Suicides, overdoses, alcoholism, mass shootings, bipolar, ADD, depression, disorders, disease, toxic relationships, the list goes on. This tradition is absolutely destroying our society and it just keeps getting worse with every generation! 

There is a KGB officer that pretty much screamed at us that Santa Claus is psychological warfare in the 80s. He mentions "soft heads (children)" and that this is "being done to Americans by Americans." He also says "this is a slow demoralization  process." Why am I the only one doing anything about this? Do we have leadership? Here is the link to the interview…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQPsKvG6WMI&t=6s

My favorite quote has always been, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson I had an amazing synchronicity happen to me involving this quote on my 11/11 birthday weekend. My daughter and I were going up to Boston to visit colleges. Right before we left on our trip, I posted this quote on my FB page. We arrive at the hotel and when we check-in I was randomly given Room No. 1111 and when we enter our hotel room, this very quote was written in cursive above the bed. I have had many amazing synchronicities happen throughout my life. It truly is a magical world! Someone recently asked me on my SleighSanta FB page, what is the difference between the path and the trail? Here was my response:

The path that was created for us was a brutal one. Not only were we mentally and emotionally abused by Santa Claus and disconnected from our parents, many of us endured much worse abuse than that. Our parents went through this process of abuse a long time ago so they checked out by the time we were born. They were too busy fitting into “the rules” of society that was provided to them. Lie to your innocent little children, make as much money as possible and keep up those “appearances” that you’re the happiest family on earth. The fake world. A world of oppression where everyone is stomping on each other instead of lifting each other up.

The trail we must blaze is a truly joyful and hopeful one. One where values and morals are exemplified and we are praised for our out-of-the-box thinking instead of oppressed and attacked for not staying in between the lines. It is an imaginative and creative and loving trail where the only rules to be followed are your moral compass and your intuition. This opens up a truly magical world where amazing synchronicities become the norm instead of the rarity. A world where we lift each other up. Santa Claus has turned the whole world upside down!

Empathy is the next stage in our evolution. What is empathy? “Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, acting as a crucial bridge for human connection, communication, and compassion. It involves perspective-taking, emotional resonance, and the desire to help, fostering healthier relationships and reducing social friction.” Lying to innocent little children is destroying our empathy for one another hence why we have all the problems that we do in the world. 

Empathy exercise: The next time you are waiting in line, imagine you are looking out from someone else's eyes, they have thoughts and feelings too. If every parent taught their child this instead of lying to them about nonsense, oh what a wonderful world it would be!

Imagine if you were married to your spouse for 7 to 8 years just to find out they had been lying to you the entire time. Would you say, “oh how magical?” Of course not! The only difference is that our young 7 to 8 year-old children are not yet equipped to verbalize the betrayal they feel. This tradition shows a complete lack of empathy and compassion. The day they find out Santa Claus is not real is the day their self-esteem gets crushed because they realize they are not worth any respect. The day they find out Santa Claus is not real is the day they are traumatized with the brutal truth that they are living in a "world full of liars." This will follow them the rest of their lives. Instead of being able to truly care about other people, they will spend their lives protecting their fragile hearts. This is truly unkind what we are doing to our children. We are traumatizing them! It is creating a superficial world. It is creating a massive lack of empathy and compassion on a worldwide scale. There is nothing magical about it. I’m not sure how this tradition came to exist among the masses, but it most certainly is not for the benefit of the masses. 

I recall finding out Santa Claus was not real and I was devastated. My parents lied to me my entire childhood? I decided to tell my daughters the truth but since everyone else was lying to them, they said, “mommy you must be delusional because everybody else is telling us he is real.” This is a conspiracy! My daughters don’t trust their own mother because the whole world is lying to them? We are living in a world full of conspiracy theories and this is the biggest one of all. Who is controlling our world? Welcome to the machine!

Because of this tradition, nobody is really learning how to trust anyone. So people are walking around pretty much on edge, suspicious and bracing themselves for the next blindside. It is preventing our ability to care about each other and instead we are just protecting ourselves from everyone and kind of going through the motions because we never really learned how to care. How can you deprogram from this cult? Start asking yourself, "am I being honest?" or "am I just saying whatever I need to say to come out smelling like a rose?" And start trusting your intuition and find your moral compass. If it feels wrong, it is wrong. Do not put up with any disrespect and do not dish out any disrespect. But do not react. Take a deep breath and either walk away or simply respond and explain your point of view. For example, "I do not appreciate you making fun of me, it is disrespectful." But whatever you do, do not get into some back and forth insanity. It never accomplishes your goal. 

Remember who you are. You are not your thoughts, you are not your story, you are not your trauma and you are never a victim! Victim mentality will not help us. You are absolutely amazing! We are strong, we are survivors, we are warriors and we will get through this and overcome! I understand it is a very tough pill to swallow. Put your hand on your heart, take some deep breaths and remember that beautiful, joyful, loving, kind person that you always have been. Forgive and let go. We have all been tangled up in this confusing mess protecting ourselves out of fear. What a wonderful world it would be if we can get to that place of operating from love. 

The good news? This is a magical world! I have myself experienced amazing synchronicities that are almost beyond belief! Many miraculous healings have been documented! Unexplained meetings happen that could only be attributed to some sort of divine orchestration. Albert Einstein coined the term, “spooky action at a distance” when discussing quantum entanglement. Many authors and philosophers discuss this idea of collective consciousness, manifestation and divine alignment including Carl Jung, Neville Goddard, Napoleon Hill, Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Carolyn Myss, Gabrielle Bernstein and Rhonda Byrne who wrote the Secret. 

Can we please put tired old Santa Claus into retirement and pick up one of these books? Some people told me that I should write a book. I don’t need to write a book. There are so many books out there to teach you about this magical world. I just want to end this mental and emotional abuse of our children so they can open up their hearts and minds to their own amazing imaginations, start being able to trust people and save this world of ours that is in peril. 

Please help me spread the word. Santa Claus has pretty much taken over the entire Western World. There are lots of people to reach. I’m looking forward to moving toward a much more loving, compassionate, kind and truly magical world. 

I have car magnets for sale below, donations would be appreciated, and please connect with me on social media and share a post. At the bottom of my site is a beautiful poem I wrote to help get us back on track. I’m hoping to make it into a children’s book or actually an everybody book. 

I would love to hear from you. I have been on this road all by myself and have lost practically everyone in the process. You can email me at santaisretiring@gmail.com. 

About me? I was born on 11/11 (no coincidence I'm sure for this amazing challenge I have been given) and raised by two amazing parents that did their absolute best with the information provided to them. They built a working replica of the Thomas Point Lighthouse. They got the plans from the archives in DC. They built it and put it on the nautical charts and made it into bed and breakfast. The whole world was coming to stay there... a beacon of hope.... just for it to be shut down by a bunch of insane nonsense. My parents gave me the gift of being a visionary! I want to extend that gift to all of you. I have spent over 20 years being a residential real estate agent. Prior to that, I received my Information Systems Degree with a focus on Systems Analysis. I can clearly see the system is broken and I would like to start creating happy homes. I don't think that is anything we have ever REALLY seen. Much love! - Elizabeth Costello
