Really. . .so Catholic parents don't do the Santa Claus thing with their kids? Every single Catholic family I know does so.
wait...what? santa is a myth? a lie? seriously? but... i’ve been really good this year and i was expecting something awesome. now you’ve gone and ruined christmas for me.:)
I was raised in a good Christian home, with 5 brothers and sisters and none of us were damaged because our parents let us watch Santa Clause is Coming to Town, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - so many times we knew most of the words, and the hundreds of hours listening to Gene Autry’s Christmas album on my Dad’s hi-fi. Just good clean fun, and cherished memories. And we are all still strong Christians, with one of us ordained and working as a Police Chaplin. If you balance growing up with a strong Christian upbringing, you could not convince me there is a problem.
This reminds me of Dana Carvey’s “The Church Lady” rearranging the letters in Santa to spell Satan.
