[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Santa Claus as a character and a fun idea is great — meaning the Santa that inhabits the world of some adults because they choose to enjoy him, the way other people enjoy the idea of Batman or Superman or any other of the myriad of available fictional reference points. Santa as a real person on the order of a divine being with near-omniscience, the power to reward and punish, etc., is not so great, in no small part because there comes a day when kids “figure out” he’s mythical and that they’ve been lied to by the people it is most important for them to be able to trust unconditionally. I had no interest in the Santa “thing” for our DC. Unfortunately, the school chose to insert it into our lives. I’d rather that hadn’t occurred. [/quote] Nobody I know has ever threatened their kids with Santa. You people have lost your marbles. [/quote]
