“The idea of substituting Christ with a fat man in a red suit is demonic.”

I don’t know any Christian who “substitutes” Jesus with Santa. One is fun around Christmas time. The Other is the fiber of the family’s life every hour of every day. It’s the reason for living.

Well said! Also, I never felt I was "lied to" by my parents as some have stated. Santa was great fun and quite a production at our house....once a year. God was every day of the year!

Huh? Most of our society has substituted Santa with the prospect of needing Christ. That is objectively measurable. I am not talking about Christians. I am talking about a society that doesn’t get the truth because of the Santa Claus fable.
