Answer 2

Will I guess the reason why parents tell their kids there is not Santa Clause when they get older is that these parents don't know of the legend of Santa Clause. For these parents have been taught by Coke a Cola and others that Santa Clause is a commercial gimmick to get these people to spend money for the big event Christmas. Really, if people do take the time out and do some research that really there was a man named Saint Nicholas in the early Christian Church in Turkey. Story has it he gave some money to a poor man so all his daughter's could have a dowry for their weddings and be happy. Along time ago, girls had to have money given to their families as a way of helping their husband support them hence the dowry. But since these girls belong to a poor family one of them was going to sell herself as a hooker so that her sister's could get married. Hearing of this family plight, Nicholas would come over to the house of this family and throw money into the window of the girls' bedroom and the money would land in each girl stockings. In the end, Nicholas was caught by the father who wanted to thank the stranger for helping his family out in their plight. Nicholas told the man not to tell anyone who gave the family the money. Hence, the evolution of the stocking gifts and the anonymous giving of Saint Nicholas. I don't know what year that the commercial idea of Santa came about but he was a real guy but people want to believe he is fake.

Answer 3

Thank you so much. I've been getting annoyed all night by all these people telling children that Santa's not real. I'd almost bet that all the people saying that he's not real believed in Santa when they were younger, so they should let these children enjoy the legend as well. So, once more, thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Answer 4

No, maximum teenagers on the age of six have not reached the concrete operational degree of cognitive progression. for that reason they won't think of logically. "In Piaget's maximum nicely popular job, a toddler is represented with 2 same beakers containing the comparable quantity of liquid. the toddler oftentimes notes that the beakers have the comparable quantity of liquid. while between the beakers is poured right into a taller and thinner container, toddlers who're often youthful than 7 or 8 years previous say that the two beakers now comprise a distinctive quantity of liquid. the toddler in basic terms makes a speciality of the top and width of the container while in comparison with the final concept. Piaget believes that if a toddler fails the conservation-of-liquid job, that's a demonstration that they are on the preoperational degree of cognitive progression. the toddler additionally fails to show conservation of form, rely, length, quantity, and section besides. yet another occasion is while a toddler is shown 7 canines and 3 cats and asked if there are greater canines than cats. the toddler could respond actual. however while asked if there are greater canines than animals, the toddler could as quickly as lower back respond actual. Such standard blunders in logic show the transition between intuitiveness in fixing issues and authentic logical reasoning won in later years while the toddler grows up."

Answer 5

I'm bothered by an answer up above... the true meaning of christmas is Jesus? I'm a christian but I'm kind of put off by all the hooplah of christmas. The holiday we celebrate as christmas existed long before christs' birth.

Natalis Solis Invicti
Main article: Sol Invictus
The Romans held a festival on December 25 called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun." The use of the title Sol Invictus allowed several solar deities to be worshipped collectively, including Elah-Gabal, a Syrian sun god; Sol, the god of Emperor Aurelian (AD 270-274); and Mithras, a soldiers' god of Persian origin.[11] Emperor Elagabalus (218-222) introduced the festival, and it reached the height of its popularity under Aurelian, who promoted it as an empire-wide holiday.[12]

December 25 was also considered to be the date of the winter solstice, which the Romans called bruma.[8] It was therefore the day the Sun proved itself to be "unconquered" despite the shortening of daylight hours. (When Julius Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar in 45 BC, December 25 was approximately the date of the solstice. In modern times, the solstice falls on December 21 or 22.) The Sol Invictus festival has a "strong claim on the responsibility" for the date of Christmas, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia.[3] Several early Christian writers connected the rebirth of the sun to the birth of Jesus.[13] "O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was born . . . Christ should be born," Cyprian wrote.[3]

We don't actually know that (and it's been often questioned by recent historians) Christ was born on Dec 25th.. it's an assumption by early writers.

It is unknown exactly when or why December 25 became associated with Jesus' birth. The New Testament does not give a specific date.[13] Sextus Julius Africanus popularized the idea that Jesus was born on December 25 in his Chronographiai, a reference book for Christians written in AD 221.[13] This date is nine months after the traditional date of the Incarnation (March 25), now celebrated as the Feast of the Annunciation.[17] March 25 was also considered to be the date of the vernal equinox and therefore the creation of Adam.[17] Early Christians believed March 25 was also the date Jesus was crucified.[17] The Christian idea that Jesus was conceived on the same date that he died on the cross is consistent with a Jewish belief that a prophet lived an integral number of years.[17]

Once again, it's just a day we CHOSE to celebrate his birth.... and beyond that the church only recently okayed it for members of the church to celebrate their birthdays! (when i say recent i speak in historical terms.. not like last week).

Also (which is found on wikipedia as well), we celebrate his birth in January for quite some time.

The point of all my rambling is that in reality no one person is the meaning of christmas and Santa doesn't cancel out Jesus nor does Jesus cancel out Santa. The meaning of christmas is simple: giving and family. (Although in many asian it's a couples time like Valentines' is for us). It means something different to everyone and if someone chooses to believe in Santa, let them!

Answer 6

I would not tell some one else's child that there is no Santa because that's not my place. I would, however, tell the child about the true meaning of Christmas....about Jesus.

But personally, I would not tell my own children about Santa because it would be a lie. The Bible tells us not to lie but folks seem to think that doesn't include lying to their children. I also wouldn't tell them about Santa because Jesus should be getting all the glory on Christmas not some fictitious character. Also, once the child finds out that there really is no Santa and that the parents lied about it the child might start to wonder what else the parents have lied to them about. They may think, "If they were lying about Santa maybe they are lying about Jesus / God too. Maybe they just tell me about God / Jesus so that I will behave." (After all, Santa leaves coal for bad boys and girls instead of gifts.)

Answer 7

I have asked this question as well and it really bothers me. I don't understand the problem in letting children be children. Santa is everywhere for three months of the year. I think it would be harder to explain that he isn't real. There is nothing wrong with believing in love and giving. Some people are just ridiculous.

Answer 8

Some people believe they are lying to their children about a fat man in a red suit with a while beard coming to their house in a sled led by deer and the leader being Rudolph. and bringing them presents by way of coming down the chimney.
After some kids find out, then they are mad at their parents for lying to them.

Answer 9

I agree with tommybear. Christmas has become so materialistic, it's like if we clebrated Christmas for what is really is and just that, our economy would go to hell. The sad part is it probably would.

Answer 10

Some of those kids are not childern..They are 12 year 13 year old teens thinking Santa is real...get over it... even little kids dont need this. Its just a hard shock after years of believeing that Santa is real and actually Santa is just a fat little man in their heads...

and if they are little kids then they should not be allowed on computer at this hour!

Answer 11

You are completly right;
I don't go around telling anyone what to or not to believe.
And this goes for religions or lack of also.
