[quote=Anonymous]Santa is a cultural phenomenon, not Christian. I have lots of nonreligious friends who celebrate Santa because it’s fun, and they do it around Christmas because that’s when you celebrate Santa. My family growing up and was not religious and we had a huge Christmas celebration because my atheist parents like Christmas traditions. I actually think the people who are nuts about Santa are not terribly religious, so don’t understand why people here are acting like pushing Santa is pushing religion. And I don’t think celebrating Christmas/Santa makes you Christian. In fact, I think in more religious communities, there is an emphasis on Jesus at Christmas time. We are a catholic family and I talk about presents being a celebration of Jesus’ birthday, the wise men bringing gifts, etc. I don’t tell my kids Santa doesn’t exist, but when they ask about gifts or Santa I remind them about why we celebrate Christmas.[/quote]
