The Man In The Red Suit

Many children  know him as the one they go to see and sit on his lap every december to tell them what that want that year..

There parents tell they better be good for santa is watching and making a list..

Some maybe are even told that at this time me of year he could be anywhere they may go..

So the children try there best and be as good as they can..

As children are just that..

They are children and none are perfect..

However some adults use this man in the red suit against children..

They may even dress up as him and do things that nobody especially someone a child believes to be santa should be doing..  

Becasue then it can cause a fear that could last a life time..

One that this child will forever remember..

Maybe even into there later life..

the man in the red suit is surpossed to be one on the innocent beliefes a child should always be able to have..  

For some childen there are no others then these..

Nothing more they have to believe in then the inniocent beliefe of a childhood character..

And if they are taken away or used in a bad way against a child then what do thay have..

To tell a child that this is what its all about is wrong..

That if only they had done as they were told they would of gotten the toys they wanted and not the punishment instead..  

Becasue the man in the red suit is not the one that is surpossed to do the harm..

He is the one that is surpossed to bring that magic of christmas to there hearts..

The glow into there eyes that only he can give them..  

The one that every child all over the world is surpossed to believe in a magic that no matter what when they wake up on christmas day it will be about the magic of christmas and not the fear of what will happen..

Or what has happend even in the time before..

Some children know a different man in the red suit..

One that casues great fear, hurt and pain..
