Sounds like bait to me, but f%&* it...personally I think Santa is a bad myth to tell kids--it makes them think their parents are liars, promotes pagan worship, and for what?

...relevance, or was that humor?

I think Santa is a bad myth to tell kids

Santa is gettin kids ready for Communism
Guy wears a RED SUIT
Sees you when you sleeping and awake
Keeps a list of who's naughy and nice
Gives handouts without paying for them

It's an interesting case because most people don't even recognized it as a lie, but all the elements are there: (1) it's false; (2) they know it's false; and (3) they say it with the intention that their children believe them. That last point is the key one.
