Girl, 8, writes angry letter to parents after asking them about Santa: Youre a dream crusher

She absolutely sleighed them.An 8-year-old girl in Arizona felt so betrayed after learning the truth about Santa Claus that she wrote her parents an angry letter labeling them “dream crushers” and “backstabbers.” Her furious correspondence is currently blowing up on Reddit, although some skeptics wondered if, like Kris Kringle himself, it may have been too good to be true.“While it was heartbreaking to see her pain, we couldn’t help but smile at the tenderness and sweetness in her writing,” the disillusioned girl’s dad Derek Rogers told Newsweek.The Gilbert native said that he and his wife had always taken pains to keep the Santa myth alive for the sake of their daughter.“Our daughter had an Elf on the Shelf who was a kind elf and a Christmas friend,” Rogers said.

“She wrote letters to Santa, and sometimes he even wrote back.” Their Christmas cover story came unraveled last week, however, when a boy at her school told her that neither Saint Nick nor the oft-agita-causing Elf on the Shelf were real.“[He said] that the only people who still believe that are me and my family,” the devastated tyke demanded, per Rogers.

“Mom, Dad … is it true? Is Santa real?”That’s when they decided to spill the beans on the Yuletide myth.And while Rogers thought they did a good job clearing the air, he discovered that wasn’t the case after his daughter burst into tears and exclaimed, “You lied to me for eight years?!”When they tried to console the distraught tot, she told them “I have to say some things that might not be nice, and I don’t want to say them out loud.” She then stomped off to their home office, and returned with the aforementioned note, which read:“I may say… you lied to me! I will hate you.

Also, I don’t know why this elf thing is in here.Maybe from Aspen before she lost her magic.

You broke my heart.(She found an Elf on the Shelf accessories kit in the office.) You are a love breaker and a dream crusher.
