Definitely before they go to Middle School/Junior High, I think most kids start catching on around fourth grade. So about 8 years old in my opinion. I first figured it out from an episode of Happy Days lol.
Im just going to do the Mexican thing and tell the kids that’s it’s baby jesus coming so when it comes time to rip the band-aid I can hit two birds with one stone 😂
Until they figure it out themselves, adult life is hard let them be kids as long as they can it’s not a big deal. There’s bigger problems out there to be worried about.
Esther I’ve always told my daughter Santa is just pretend and she doesn’t believe me lol she’s 6 now and I just go with it. It is so cute to see their joy. ❤
If I had to guess I think it’s the fenty highlight in diamond bomb! If it’s not that one that highlight gives the same look as whatever Annie’s wearing (,:
I think she said it's Urban Decay! She said what it was in either the last episode or the episode before. I know that's a little vague but hope it helps lol
I agree, honestly holiday time was the only time my parents tried not to fight and make stuff magic. I don’t regret believing and I don’t see it as having been “lied to” that’s just me
I learned Santa wasn’t real because I’m the oldest and I always had to be a mother to my younger family members and I was fine with it ❤ it was still magical for me to be a part of it for all the younger kids
OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY is the FUNNIEST Xmas Movie I've seen. It's such a fun and redic movie with so many incredible actors/comedians. HIGHLY recommend. Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, TJ Miller, Olivia Munn, Kate McKinnon and so many more hilarious people.
it HAD to be a joke but i saw some ding dong mom thank them in the comments 😐 raising parentified boring beige children fr, kids have no business here lol
my parents didn’t do santa, and told us not to tell the other kids which we didn’t. i have ALWAYS been grateful for that because 1. i knew i could trust my parents and felt sorry that all my friends were being lied to lmao 2. i had gratitude that my parents worked hard to afford xmas presents and 3. i didn’t feel fomo AT ALL. xmas is magical either way!
On Santa, just tell the kid what it is. I believe children can understand and appreciate the christmas tradition without being manipulated into a lie. Santa was a real person, he was not made up. And the christmas tradition is alive today because of how important it is to spread joy. I feel like this question comes up with people who don't understand christmas. Christmas is not a lie, it's an essential festival.
Bloody hell, very much relate to Annie and the anxiety tasks. Cleaning and exercise feels like a challenge but feeling like it has to be completed or your behind in a way. Pomodoro technique is helpful for sure 🙏🏽 always have a reward at the end of coffee or food.
Ester gearing up to be a shitty Christmas mom...you only get a few years of feeling the Christmas magic in the world, the harsh realities hit soon enough, give your kids the magic.
Fun show today,... no Xmas for me,... no family and normally I just work n bring the energy to the elderly but I can't get into any holiday festive pretend while literally the world is collapsing in real time and I just can't connect n don't feel connected anymore to this reality..... but for all who can,... im vicariously happy and supportive that you have the desire to engage❤
Pajama Christmases are truly the best. Our fam meets up after service, get out of our monkey suits, have a huge, indulging dinner, usually North Indian like goat curry and goat biryani (or pilaf), seekh kababs, tandoori chicken, etc. We celebrate on Christmas eve.
Mama of a 21yro, I will def do what Esther says with Santa. I was so pissed off and really devastated when I found out my mother was lying to me about Santa, and I couldn’t understand why I also couldn’t lie about things xx
pregnant slug 💕 and im on team esther santa is a fun pretend thing. ill still put gifts out while she sleeps for fun. the magic for me as a kid was going to sleep with nothing under the tree and waking up with stockings filled and presents stacked
My precious loyal Chihuahua named Schnitzel died today. I had court and lost in court against my abuser 2 days ago...I'm going through it but guess what makes me giggle cry ...my favorite podcast. Humor and banter really are gifts for humanity
For any one keeping track getting fingered in the theater at 12 is the 33rd original claim of sexual assault from all the years of Tigerbelly and trash Tuesday. My heart goes out to some one who’s been so abused yet stays so strong!! Inspiration!
I feel for all the kids that ever happen to be in the vicinity of Esther’s kid. Santa is no different than the imaginary friends nearly all children have. It’s part of the brain’s development.
Real question just found this podcast and it’s interesting I do like it but are these women friends? It doesn’t feel like friendly banter maybe more like co workers🤷🏻♀️
Welcome! I get the impression they are all friends that love each other but are different and busy and don’t get to see each other enough outside the pods
I told my kids the truth about Santa not being real, my kids have always totally trusted me (they are 19 and 22 years old). You have a great plan Esther! Make it a magical time and start your own family traditions! All of you are going to be amazing mothers!!! I'm excited to keep watching, but I will be skipping over all the baby and toddler stories.
As an ex evangelical ex Mormon , I wholeheartedly agree with Ester. In this the darkest and coldest time of the year in the northern hemisphere, let us all commune together. Share gifts, feed each other and come to the realization that it wasn’t Santa or Saint Paul or Jesus that was our only guide to community.
You can’t pretend you’re never going to lie to your kids. If their teacher gets arrested for CP and are never seen again, you’ll explain that you your 6 year old? Nooo you wouldn’t 😂 so leave Santa alone, you’re not going to tell them all the bad parts of life, so don’t ruin the good too.
My 4 year old daughter has known Santa is pretend since she could understand words. I told her and decided to bc for me personally I also didn't want to lie to her -- and she still LOVESS xmas AND "pretend-Santa " ANDDDD knows to not ruin the secret to other kids. People are silly when they say their childhood would be ruined. What about families who don't celebrate holidays? Kids only know what they experience and as long as you make as many happy traditions and memories as possible, your child will respect you more for not feeling comfortable about lying to them, imo
I agree with Esther when it comes to telling your kids about Santa. Being told that big of a lie before you can even remember makes me question why many millennials don’t trust their parents.
Omg, a glowing up episode or segments would be the best! Also, I'm a 32 week pregnant slug, we are going to do the Santa thing (probably not elf on the shelf). My husband and I both remember having good memories of those times when we were younger.
What's the best age to have the Santa conversation with kids? (Esther still believes so be careful)
Definitely before they go to Middle School/Junior High, I think most kids start catching on around fourth grade. So about 8 years old in my opinion. I first figured it out from an episode of Happy Days lol.

I say let them figure it out and either cry with them or remind them that 🎅 is in us all.
@@rainm272🎅🧑🎄🤶They live in all of our butts
If you tell Esther that hot girls believe in Santa, she would change her mind
Lmfao ❤
“I belong wherever I go” I wish I had annie’s energy lol
we all do
I REALLY WISH you lovely ladies would stream your live show , I would LOVE to buy a ticket and watch from home PLS I BEG LADIES😣💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
They streamed that last one… they should be streaming this one too 🎉
omg yes! or make them like ymh 69 minutes, so i can rent and watch for like a week straight!!
@@annalouisepleaseWHAT HOW DID I NOT KNOW 😅
I didn't know either!
@@jusagi.SLUGS UNITE! where can we find the live streams?
“what are they gonna do, come get me?” 😂😂😂 always love Annie’s ruthless humor
It’s brave to do the thing you need to do even though you don’t want to do it. Thank you for the wisdom Annie.
I love how Annie used to always jockingly pick on Esther, but now that she's pregnant she is so much more nurturing and kind 🩷.
Best podcast ever. It's really helped me out these last couple months when I've felt so down. Thank you, lovely ladies!
Esther I’ve always told my daughter Santa is just pretend and she doesn’t believe me lol she’s 6 now and I just go with it. It is so cute to see their joy. ❤
why wouldn’t you encourage a little 6 year old kid to believe in magic :( sad mom moment
Pregnant slug here, about 30 weeks. So far we don’t have a Santa plan but leaning toward the idea that he’s the mascot for the Christmas spirit.
Dave needs to be on the show at least once lol
OMG YES 😭🙏 and another with Todd!
Yes please! Love the idea of Glowing Up episode too!
@OPAnaya True! I want all their friends and partners on here haha
When you said Stanley cup, I literally thought your niece was hyped about hockey 😂
Annie needs to tell us what highlighter she’s using it’s unreal
If I had to guess I think it’s the fenty highlight in diamond bomb! If it’s not that one that highlight gives the same look as whatever Annie’s wearing (,:
Urban Decay (space cowboy)
She just talked about it on the last anniewood episode…forgot the product tho but I want to say urban decay
@@Mishll.she posted space cowboy in her last insta dump 💕
I think she said it's Urban Decay! She said what it was in either the last episode or the episode before. I know that's a little vague but hope it helps lol
All of Scandinavia celebrates Christmas ,the gifts and the big meal , on the 24th.
I’m listening while cleaning and Ester says “found out Santa wasn’t real” as my 9 year old walks by…. 😅 shhhit
Holy Christmas, Esther is looking so good! Merry Slugmas everyone!
Just when I thought she couldn’t get more beautiful 😍😍
You’re going to tell your 3-4 year old that Santa isn’t real? That’s a real grinch move, lol. Good luck with that.
Bro it’s not that serious chill out lol
I agree that’s harsh
@@rastachandolo9766it’s funny that you think “grinch move” is a serious insult worthy of this reply
I agree, honestly holiday time was the only time my parents tried not to fight and make stuff magic. I don’t regret believing and I don’t see it as having been “lied to” that’s just me
Congrats Esther! We knew Rick was laying pipe while you guys were "Havin A Time".
Cougars 😂
Annie always gives you guys gifts, cmon Esther and Khalyla..step it up
Happy holidays ladies and crew 🎄
Merry Christmas ❤ Trash tuesday babes
Pregnant Esther is glowing 🥺
I learned Santa wasn’t real because I’m the oldest and I always had to be a mother to my younger family members and I was fine with it ❤ it was still magical for me to be a part of it for all the younger kids
The fact Esther won’t pretend Santa exists revoked any milf qualities she might have had
Next year I’m gonna need to be their fourth slug 🐌 ❤
Thank you for celebrating Christmas, awesome. I loved the Hanukkah ep too. Celebrating rules.
OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY is the FUNNIEST Xmas Movie I've seen. It's such a fun and redic movie with so many incredible actors/comedians. HIGHLY recommend. Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, TJ Miller, Olivia Munn, Kate McKinnon and so many more hilarious people.
Why is there a disclaimer for children? Lmao they should definitely not be watching 😂 especially if they're old enough to still believe in Santa.
Its almost a little bit absurb maybe even dare i say comedic
it HAD to be a joke but i saw some ding dong mom thank them in the comments 😐 raising parentified boring beige children fr, kids have no business here lol
And Esther looks like a literal who from whoville 😂
Jesus Vs The Grinch😅😊
Annie looks hella cute 😩❤️🙌🏽 I love it with the Jean shorts
The Night Before, (not nightmare) & Krampus! Best Christmas movies!
I’m late but Annie might have just changed my life by using anxiety as a driving force 🤯
my parents didn’t do santa, and told us not to tell the other kids which we didn’t. i have ALWAYS been grateful for that because 1. i knew i could trust my parents and felt sorry that all my friends were being lied to lmao 2. i had gratitude that my parents worked hard to afford xmas presents and 3. i didn’t feel fomo AT ALL. xmas is magical either way!

Please consider muting the swear words if you don’t want them, the beep I find distracting. 🙏
They’re bleeping out swear words now. That’s sad.
I love you guys so much. I’ve been crying for days, life is so hard right now but I feel like you guys are my fellow molested big sisters 👯♀️ ❤

Nahhhhhhh we Stan Santa!!! You guys are wild.
not the disclaimer at the beginning 😂

PLEASE!!! WHAT HIGHLIGHTER IS ANNIE WEARING??? It’s so pretty!
Love you ladies! Just came to say my favorite Christmas movie is It’s a wonderful life. Gotta be the og black and white one.
Did Annie and Kalyla spray oil all over their faces???
Jeez, does every Hollywood girl have night panic attacks, takes xanax, microdose, ketameme, ayahuasca...

K wearing something for dogs really says a few things. :)
Kahyla that podcast with j summers was amazing. I don't know how you both made it through without breaking down and having a crying session
Thanks Sluggies! 💖😘💕
How is lying about Santa worse than lying about god?
Omg *Annie* you're *channeling* ‼️ I do this in the morning too - to myself from ✨💫
Love you guys! Got my daughter some merch! We saw Annie together in Toronto best time ever for my bday!
The boy with the striped pajamas was a crazy analogy 😬
As a mommy of littles, I appreciate so hard the Santa warning
Don’t lie to your children pls
why would you play this podcast within their earshot anyway??? parents rn are so weird have some morals dude
@@jGronk3030what about don’t make em grow up too fast? let em be kids and believe in something, adulthood is full of enough disappointment
@@abbyz13 It’s much better to build on a solid foundation of truth and reality. Fairytales are fun but should not be presented a reality.
@@abbyz13 I don’t listen to this around my kids asshole, I just meant in general no podcasts do that and it would be nice.
Merry Christmas girlies! All the best Esther for the baby. See u all
next year xx ❤
Bless you for dropping the highlighter, Annie 🫡🫶🏻🙌🏻
Mama of a 21yro, I will def do what Esther says with Santa. I was so pissed off and really devastated when I found out my mother was lying to me about Santa, and I couldn’t understand why I also couldn’t lie about things xx

What's with the bleeping this episode? I thought there were only a few "no-no words" that need bleeped?
I feel for all the kids that ever happen to be in the vicinity of Esther’s kid. Santa is no different than the imaginary friends nearly all children have. It’s part of the brain’s development.
Annie has quickly became the hottest and funniest female n comedy
A disclaimer is crazy because I would never play this show in front of my kids lmao
Real question just found this podcast and it’s interesting I do like it but are these women friends? It doesn’t feel like friendly banter maybe more like co workers🤷🏻♀️
Welcome! I get the impression they are all friends that love each other but are different and busy and don’t get to see each other enough outside the pods
Gremlins for best Christmas movie 🤘
is the pod gonna be censored fully from now on?
I wish my beta blocker worked
Great episode, I get claustrophobic also at the movies...but it only started after I stopped smoking but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Grape sprite is delicious even as someone who doesn’t really like grape flavor!
get rid or kALILA

I have told my kids Santa is magical. I don’t say he is real or isn’t real. Same with tooth fairy, Easter bunny, leprechauns on St Patrick’s day.
You still can have Christmas spirit without Santa. There's no need for that.
That opening tho 🤩
I would DIE with a TTxGlowing Up episode!!!!!
I’m with Esther. Santa who??😜
Are children watching this podcast?😂
Oh my god annie...... guuurrrrrrrrlllll
I agree with Esther when it comes to telling your kids about Santa. Being told that big of a lie before you can even remember makes me question why many millennials don’t trust their parents.
Xmas movie - Riding in Cars with Boys.
Omg, a glowing up episode or segments would be the best! Also, I'm a 32 week pregnant slug, we are going to do the Santa thing (probably not elf on the shelf). My husband and I both remember having good memories of those times when we were younger.
Aww, they’ve got a fourth host on the show now. ☺️
Esther needs to close-up hand model the Quip, get that thing on a lazy susan
