Most people that celebrate Christmas have been told all about Santa Claus as kids. Our parents, teachers, peers, and other influential people in our lives would tell us all about the fat jolly old man in a red suit coming down our chimney on Christmas Eve to deliver us a pile of toys for Christmas day. We heard all of the stories about how this mystical man and his tiny green elves work all year long making toys at the North Pole in order to deliver every child in the entire world toys by the end of the Christmas Eve night. We have even heard stories about his 8 reindeer and the most famous of all Rudolf who has a bright red nose. From time to time you may have even heard a story or two about Santa's fat jolly wife, Mrs. Claus, who shows support to her jolly fat husband.

Your parents probably stood in line for several hours just so could take a picture with a fat white man with a long white beard dressed in a Santa suit. You may have even been afraid of him and burst out crying the first time you saw him and was forced to sit on his lap, I know I did. You probably have been telling your own children the same stories you heard as a kid and how wonderful it is to have Santa Claus come on that very special night.

In all great fiction are great truths. Einstein said that if you want you child to be a genius, read them fairy tales. People that get hung up on Santa being some lie should check themselves.

You guys are crazy to think that it is ok to lie to your children just because it is good for their imagination. It is nutz to lie to them. Then they are going to be crushed when someone tells them on the playground that Santa is not real. You will probably lose a notch of their trust just because you chose to lie to them. Ok St. Nick was a real guy but he never was called Santa Clause and he never flew in a sleigh with reindeer. I am talking about Santa, not St. Nick.

Unbelievable the extremes people go through to celebrate in vain. Who is Santa, nothing but (like you said) a fat imaginary man. My children know that Santa is NOT real. I chose to not focus on the materialism of Christmas, rather focus on the main reason. Some 2000 years ago, God made Himself a body and became our supreme sacrifice. It seems most of today's society choses to take this holiday back to it's original roots of paganism. (opening a can of worms?, maybe) Hey a duck's a duck :)

Bitter, indeed. Is there something so wrong with childish belief in an abstract concept? Santa Claus is one of the last remaining 'magical' things in a world which is slowly becoming more and more brutal. If I must put my daughter's letter to Santa in the trash as soon as she gives it to me to mail in exchange for her spending hours making gifts for her family so she can be sure to stay on the nice list-- well, I see little wrong with that. By the way, Santa did exist. You say he's never existed, but apparently you didn't read up on your facts. Try looking up Saint Nicholas- that's Santa's original name, and the man he once was.

I think you sound quite bitter, it is not that deep. My daughter zoe is 2 years old and she belives in santa clause. i think it is wonderful for her imangnation. i grew up beliving in the tooth fairy;and so will she. i love her innocense. i love watching how her eyes shine when for the first time she met santa now that was priceless. when she is older my husband or myself will explain to her that we are santa, but beliving in santa as a child did not make me turn out to become a liar,thief ,or worst. With so much going on in this beautiful yet crazy world we live in .yeah i'm gonna give her the gift of imangnation
