How many children are actually taught about Jesus at that time of year? His birth is supposed to be the reason for Christmas. Ask young ones who brings the gifts for them and they will tell you the lie they have been told---Santa. How Jesus must be upset at the total disregard for his teachings. A major Christian quality is honesty. People have made Santa their god, someone children love and look forward to seeing, and all the while Jesus is out of sight, out of mind. The idea of Santa causes children to become greedy and materialistic. The Bible counsels us against greediness. Ephesians 4:18-19 (King James Version)

I can tell you don't believe in God. Santa is a made-up and actually doesn't have anything to do with God. God is living and real. He's alive in me! Isn't that a wonderful fact?

Santa, because of the presents, the child receives at Christmas .No one totally understands the gifts we have around us everyday and take for granted everyday. God is not used as a commercial and a advertising gimmick.

Well, "Santa" comes from a real person, one of the early Christian leaders in the 4th century known as St. Nicholas. He has more Catholic and Orthodox churches named for him then amy other person. He was famous for his wisdom, virtue and generous gift giving. (They have kinda messed up the way they say his name in the last couple hundred years)
That's makes it pretty easy to believe in him.
As God is real also, belief in Him is also easy - and a lot more helpful.

the story of Saint Nicholas is amazingly authentic. the story of Santa Claus is in keeping with Saint Nicholas. in case you will do learn into each and each fairy tale wide-unfold to guy, you will come across a which potential to them. it variety of feels you lack understanding of Santa and God. mind's eye is what unlocks the secret of existence. The tooth fairy exchange right into a mouse that dug up buried tooth. It exchange right into a secret. we are non secular beings like it or no longer. Our mind's eye comes from someplace. i think of excellent issues could come from coaching infants the beginning up of each and every fairy tale no longer purely the ending. you are able to scoff on the Unicorn yet do you realize the features of the Unicorn. What a spectacular tale of this way of magical animal. specific you are able to refuse to tell your infants concerning the Unicorn because of the fact there is not any evidence it ever existed, yet they lost the large message of the Unicorn. Do you desire to truly discard large fairy thoughts or discover the actuality in them.

I would have to say Santa since I never saw any god talking to little kids in a shopping mall.
