Open him a secret savings account. Continue to pay all gift monies, tooth-fairy moneys, all that shĂ*te into it until he is 18, when you can proudly present him with enough cash to get 3 Ukrainian hookers and 5 grams of charlie with which to correctly celebrate his birthday.
Every birthday we buy Louis a bottle of vintage Louis Roederer, with the intention of presenting him with all of them when he's 18. Though with his effete Jewish heritage he'll probably sell them.

My Pa used to do that for young J and his sister, and they didn't suss him out until they were quite old, I think. Certainly in their twenties.

My rule is that as soon as he goes to school and starts learning about religion, he gets told that Santa doesn't exist.
He'll already know by then. Won't stop him wanting Christmas presents though.

You're going to give 18 bottles of vintage fizz to an 18 year-old?
That's some high-quality vomit you'll be wiping off the lavatory walls.

As he was Dutch, I assume he was accompanied by a black man?

Right. All the gifts ought to be assembled under the tree. Dad gets to drink Santa's whisky, eat His mince pies and smoke His cigar as proof He had been there.

I think it will be worth it to head off any risk of credulousness at the pass.
He won’t be short of make-believe, which I agree is healthy and desirable. There’ll be talking animals in animated movies, role-play , fancy dress, etc etc etc

:hehe: Yes I should have blacked up really, shouldn't I? No one could have objected because, it's like, my cultural heritage and that.
Opportunity missed.

And those things are better than believing in Santa why exactly?
