Editor's note: The post below contains spoilers about Santa Claus.

Learning the truth about Santa Claus is never easy, but sometimes it's just downright infuriating.

When Maryland mom Nicki Adams and her husband told their daughter, Belle, that Santa wasn't real, the 10-year-old was positively livid.

Adams posted to her Facebook page about the conversation, along with a photo of the note she and her husband received from Belle.

"The time has finally come," Adams wrote. "Belle asked point blank about Santa and she's been asking every day. So we were truthful and she may never speak to us again... especially when we lost our ever loving shit at the pictures on the right that she slid under the door to us ... #dontlaugh."

In Belle's impassioned diatribe, she expresses her disappointment in her parents "lies":

You have no idea what you just did. I really tried to believe. Everyone told me it's your parents. I can't believe you anymore. Is the Easter Bunny real? How about the Tooth Fairy, huh? You just ruined a 10-year-old child's LIFE thanks. Nothing will make me feel better u lied to me about something I loved that BROKE my heart.

The cherry on top: Belle includes a drawing of a hand giving the middle finger, as well as the hashtag #middlefingeremoji.

Here's hoping that Belle forgives her parents for their holiday indiscretions — and that she gets extra toys this year, because such a passionate response deserves a reward.
