All of these answers are good. I am almost completely in agreement with one but not totally such that I put this up for a vote. Because for those who are aetheists which I was raised originally as one Santa Claus can represent the spirit of giving &sacrifice as he & his elves work all year long (like parents and people in times past) to bring a wonderful Fest & celebration for all. I was taught that God can manifest in many forms such that who is to say that God if God can part the waters why cannot drive a sleigh all over with reindeer in one night? Would explain it all finally. So I have finally come to accept the good parts that Santa Claus represents. & people work at businesses that sell for Christmas such that it provides jobs also. But this year I am a bit disgusted with some children I give to all year long who are being me me me & my husband when I have seen serious poverty amongst displaced Forest & Rain Forest Indians in Mexico this year whose forests tree/wood were sold.

the son of God. the saviour of the world (also note he came to save you too). Jesus Christ. The everlasting father. the prince of peace. HE the son of God came as a baby, so that one day, he may die on the cross for you and me to wash our sins away. Baby Jesus was and is faith, hope and charity. God bless you:)

Christmas is about what?
A FEW years ago the assistant managing editor of the U.S. Catholic magazine wrote:
“Whereas the true lesson of Christmas is a message of divine mercy and sacrifice, Santa is the front man for greedy corporations, and the tutor in greed for millions of American children. He is the saint of gimme. He has become a total sellout to materialism and greed. He is in the pay of the big toy manufacturers and department stores. A greedy child is never appeased. A spoiled child appreciates nothing. An overindulged child is convinced that the major figure of Christmas is not Christ, but himself.”
This editor thought that Santa should have been left at the North Pole.
Our children, from and early age, knew, and were told there was no such person as Santa Claus, we never had a problem with them. We did not set one day out of the year to give presents to our children, it could be any day, week, or month.
