[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sort of hate Santa because “he” treats rich and poor children differently. Where is the magic in that? I try to focus on the richness of real love and the good feelings that come from human gift-giving and receiving.[/quote]

Santa doesn’t treat kids differently based on their parent’s economic status. Where do you get that idea?

Not PP, but I think "Santa" treats kids differently because rich parents have the means to get their kid an Xbox from Santa, while poor parents don't. The conversations in school after break are always about what you got for Christmas and of course kids notice disparities in what gifts Santa gave them vs what he gave to others.[/quote]

Right?  It's like some of these posters forget that Santa is not, in fact, a real person.  Of course rich parents can buy nicer "Santa" gifts for their kids than poorer parents. If Santa were real, presumably he would treat rich and poor kids the same, or even give poorer kids more expensive gifts, but since he's not, "Santa" treats rich and poor kids differently.  [/quote]
