i for one, am glad that this guy made these commments. it is about time that we stop lying to the children. by telling children that there is a santa, they will lose their trust in us in important matters such as hearing that there is a God. santa is also attributed powers that belong to God alone. he is said to know everything, see you when you're sleeping, know if you've been bad or good, etc. it is blasphemy! we all need to start teaching the children the truth and have them focus on the fact that we are celebrating Jesus' birth!

Perhaps that was the point the vicar was making in the sermon..

My husband and I raised our kids to know that santa was make believe. My mother and the neighbors were not too happy. My reasons were reflected in your post. My husband's were a little more detailed though. He also wanted the boys to know who had to work for the money for their toys and he wasn't going to give some fat man in a red suit the credit. CD
