re: Christmas canceled: Parents and media go after holiday traditions, 'It’s getting annoying'

There is actually, from a Christian perspective, a lot of credence to not telling your kids Santa is real.

1)it’s a lie, even if a well meaning one.
2) it devalues God, as you are teaching them that there is another omnipotent being that can do magical things that they should ask for things and be good for.
3) “I would never lie to you” isn’t really something a discerning child will accept once they realize it.


Now…if you aren’t a Christian whatever I guess.
