oh
youtube i need your help i need your
christmas help ladies and gentlemen
basically my wife and i french wife uh
we got into an argument about santa
claus daddy christmas father christmas
whatever you want to call him right
because we now have a two and a half
year old baby baby toddler child
whatever you want to call it we are now
having a debate about santa claus
because i was audacious enough
apparently to ask the question hey uh
what do we do with all the presents here
which of these presents comes from uh us
as parents uh from grandparents and
which of the presents comes from santa
claus father christmas
she looked at me as if i'd just taken a
inside the turkey she goes what do
you mean who do they come they all come
from santa i'm like i'm sorry what she's
like yeah the the it's christmas they
all come from santa hold on do you not
have presents that are some of them are
from the family and some of them are
from santa she's like no no they all
come from santa like what's the point in
having santa claus and creating this
myth for children uh if some of
them are gonna come from the parents and
some of them are going to come from
santa i was like you know what that's a
good point but in my mind i remember
there being a christmas tree uh i could
have put a christmas tree in this studio
i should have put a christmas tree i
didn't i couldn't be bothered this is
the best this is the best i did i
brought my jumper and my hat from my
house i remember there being a christmas
tree and before christmas there were
presents underneath the tree and those
presents were from family mum dad uh uh
what are the family aunties uncles
grandparents whatever and then on
christmas day when you wake up on the
25th there's a big bag next to the tree
and that bag is the bag that santa claus
dropped off after he came down the
chimney and my wife was like uh
no that's not how that's not how we do
it in france i'm like isn't it is that
not how christmas works and so we've had
this massive debate ladies and gentlemen
there's five days left until christmas
so i don't know what to do i need your
help because according to her all the
presents come from
santa uh basically santa is a delivery
service it's like dhl but better
basically mom dad grandma
any of the family uses santa they ask
santa for the present and he delivers
all of them i was like oh that's weird
because then how do you teach
a child what money is worth if they on
christmas just get some fat bearded guy
wearing a red suit who just pays for
everything how do you bring up a child
with good values being like hey mummy
and daddy this year worked their ass off
to be able to afford this cool for
you i mean right now it's just peppa pig
books so it's not too expensive it's
like six euros do you know what
i mean but you know when the kids are
like six seven how do you how do you
instill you know hard work into a into a
young child if it's just some fat guy
bringing their presents you're like
it do what you want all year we've been
busting our ass off all year trying to
work and trying to do stuff but who
cares some fat guy who brought you some
presents
and she was like yeah but paul i
understand what you're saying but by the
time they're seven or eight and they
stop believing in the myth uh
they will realize that you bought those
presents all along and i was like yeah
that's kind of true but then how do you
justify the fact that santa will bring
certain presents to some children and
the same santa will bring different
presents to different children in the
same school as your child not every
family can afford the same thing so
imagine one child gets a ps5 and one
child just gets a book like how do you
justify that this santa person this
fictional character decides on certain
children to bring certain things or not
now i have asked a couple of people a
couple of english speakers and a couple
of french people in speaking with some
of my french friends apparently the
tradition in their families is uh that
santa claus you know comes around but
they do it on the 24th they they
celebrate christmas on the 24th at night
they have a dinner with the whole family
and then at midnight everyone disappears
into another room somebody rings a bell
and that's like oh santa came because
it's after midnight then everyone comes
back in and all the presents are laid
out nicely in the name of the children
that are coming in so santa shows up at
midnight but again all the presents are
from santa so i feel like there's a
french english thing maybe that in
france all the presents come from santa
in english-speaking countries some
presents come from uh santa some of them
come from the parents so
i don't know what the situation is but i
figured this would be the best forum for
this debate ladies and gentlemen
because i don't know what the hell is
going on some people say uh you write a
letter to santa with one present and the
one present comes from santa and all of
the rest come from the family so you can
instill this thing of like hey we we
work hard to be able to afford these
cool things for you in my mind i was
like well maybe santa's gift is like the
least expensive one like the expensive
ones what's an expensive toy for a
three-year-old um like the most
expensive toy being like a dollhouse
that we've bought her for like i don't
know 25 euros or something that's our
present and then the peppa pig books are
from santa right because then he brings
the cheat so then i don't know it's a
socio-eco dilemma ladies and gentlemen i
don't know what to do i've got five days
left and my wife and i are still arguing
about what presents come from santa what
don't so here's what i need youtube i
need you to tell me what to do you've
got five days in the comments tell me
what you do what you did growing up what
you do now if you have kids this
discussion never existed in my life
until i had a child that was old enough
to say santa claus and daddy christmas
and per noel so i'm lost i don't know
what to do
i'm in such a dilemma that i've been
drinking zero percent alcohol
before making this video that's how bad
things have got ladies and gentlemen i'm
not drinking real alcohol i'm drinking
fake alcohol in fact
let me open up
another bottle of zero percent alcohol

do let me know what you do and i will
pick the best solution of that uh so
