Not Santa’s helper

Ten- and 11-year-old students at Lee-on-the-Solent school in Hampshire, England, were traumatized in mid-December after the Rev. Paul Chamberlain visited, The Guardian reported. The good vicar started his discussion with the birth of Jesus, but he went on to tell the kids that Santa Claus is not real and that their parents buy the presents and eat the biscuits left out for the jolly old elf. Some students started to sob. “Paul has accepted that this was an error of judgment,” a Diocese of Portsmouth spokesperson said.
