[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't spend Christmas together and not have this be a problem. Santa's a big part of the Christmas celebration (as opposed to the religious background of the holiday, obviously).[/quote]

So, for you, Santa is more important than the fact that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ?  That just seems so backwards to me.  [/quote]

To not understand that for small children Santa is a larger part of Christmas than the Jesus part is kind of willfully naive. I grew up with them all intertwined but on Christmas morning I was a little more focused on my presents then on Church.

Also a LOT of people celebrate a secular Christmas that has nothing to do with the religious aspects. Its not that hard to grasp.

Another also, for a lot of families (mine included) Christmas was as much about spending time together and creating holiday traditions and 'magic' as it was about the religious aspect. [b]That meant making sure Santa wasn't an afterthought[/b]. [/quote]
What?! You can't have traditions or make memories without Santa??[/quote]
