The Day Santa Stopped Believing in Harold is a children's book by Maureen Fergus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It satirises the questions young kids often ask about Santa by flipping the script and having Santa ask them, about a young boy named Harold. As much as Santa wants to believe in Harold, since he loves reading his letters, he's found some things about him, such as how the letters seem like they were written by his mother, Harold has changed appearance over the past year, etc.Meanwhile, Harold is feeling the same way about Santa— he wants to believe in him, but finds the idea hard to believe. So, both try to see if Santa exists.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This book provides examples of. |

The Cuckoolander Was Right |

comment |
The Cuckoolander Was Right: Downplayed. Santa's theory about Harold's non-existence was pretty wild and mostly incorrect, and he was wrong when he said that Harold was too young to bring out the snacks. However, he was right when he said that Harold's dad is the one who leaves the snacks (though Harold does help). |

Con Man: Discussed, when Santa says that perhaps Harold's parents are lying that they have a son to trick him into giving them presents. |

Cassandra Truth: Santa initially thinks Mrs. Claus and Harold's parents are lying about Harold's existence, but actually they're telling the truth. |
