But if I was 8 and lipped off like that last kid, be assured I would never see 9.

My uncle gave me a grilled cheese sandwich once. I'm pretty sure it wasn't wrapped that day... Maybe not that week.
I think the fat kids would have beeen alright with them sammiches.
I am just enough of a d-bag to do this to my kids...soon

You weren't raised to lip-off like that last kid. That says a lot on how kids are "parented" these days.
And, for the record, I love the sounds of kids playing - even when they're in my yard.
That's the Christmas spirit, give me gifts, and make them good.
This just exemplifies everything that is wrong with "religious" holidays today, never mind that CHRISTmas isn't even Christian....

While I think the Halloween one was kind of mean-spirited, this one comes over as a bit less traumatic.
(edit: I'd paused the video and not seen the last bit, I pretty much laughed until I was in tears and had the hiccups)
Damn that was funny. Now I have something to do to my kid, when he's old enough to realize a sammich isn't a present.

Yep, I love all the uproar over Christmas vs Holiday, when it's a pagan tradition to begin with.

I pulled a similar stunt on a friend's sons. The boys were about 6 and 8 years old at the time. I had them run to the top of a hill and back, with 1st prize for the winner and 2nd prize for the loser. They got back to the bottom and I awarded the winner with an unopened jar of mustard and 2nd place received an unopened jar of mayonaise. They took it very well, the only comment was " but I don't like mayonaise". 3 years later they bring it up and laugh about it.

If you train him well enough, he'll never learn that a sammich ISN'T a present, and you can give him a sammich every year!

No, it's a tradition of virtually all cultures and faiths to have some sort of festival of lights during the darkest part of the winter. So Christmas is not specifically a "pagan" holiday. At least least Santa Clause is a Christian Saint and the holiday is named after Jesus Christ. "Easter" is the weird one, named after the Germanic goddess Eostre, and symbolized more by fertility and virility (eggs and bunnies) than by any symbols of the Christian ascension.
And those presents were frickin' awesome.
Edit: I showed this to one of my best friends, and his kids will now get a bundle of maple leaves on Christmas eve.
That was great! Too bad mine is too old to pull this on.
I agree with 914, though: The fat kid in the red and white striped shirt and the last one offering Santa a taste of pedophilia would have lasted about .03 nanosconds around my house.
i actually found some nice lumps of 100yr old coal digging a sewer drain the other day...
i cant wait for xmas morning! my kids are getting a dose!

The Encyclopedia Americana: “The reason for establishing December 25 as Christmas is somewhat obscure, but it is usually held that the day was chosen to correspond to pagan festivals that took place around the time of the winter solstice, when the days begin to lengthen, to celebrate the ‘rebirth of the sun.’ . . . The Roman Saturnalia (a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and to the renewed power of the sun), also took place at this time, and some Christmas customs are thought to be rooted in this ancient pagan celebration.”—(1977), Vol. 6, p. 666
The New Catholic Encyclopedia: “The date of Christ’s birth is not known. The Gospels indicate neither the day nor the month . . . According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener . . . and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec. 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome.”—(1967), Vol. III, p. 656.
So, nobody knows when Christ was born (because his birth meant/did nothing for mankind, only his death) so the Christians (Catholics more specifically) changed the celebration of his birth to coincide with a pagan ritual to gain followers. Today, it's morphed from a celebration to a pagan god to a celebration of commercialism and commerce.
All of that, and the fact that it's all about lying to your kids (something they'd get in trouble for doing) I'll pass.

I woulda punched out the fat kid; I was concerned about the 8 y/o that says "Jimmy Kimmel can suck my balls." to his mother.
