I believe the topic was ‘counterfeit Christianity....not Santa Clause.

The question, I believe, was about truth. My point was that Santa Claus is intricately linked with Christmas. There is no truth in Santa Claus yet within Christianity millions embrace and teach Santa Claus to their kids. That is part of the counterfeit.

You stated.........”There is no truth in Santa Claus yet within Christianity millions embrace and teach Santa Claus to their kids. That is part of the counterfeit”.....

Well...For eons ‘counterfeit’ religions, such as (Jehovah Witness and others) have attempted to ‘bait and switch’ people by using various distractions, ( such as santa clause), to “soften up” individuals by causing them to question and doubt what they believe and celebrate as Holidays, an attempt ‘to create false guilt’ ....it's a well known tactic...just exactly as satan did in the Garden.

It's well known that Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth throughout the season, regardless of the “game” played of Santa Clause, Flying Reindeer etc. So of course there's a link....fairy tales engage children at this time of year...fun for all! Yet Children sing of the “Baby Jesus” , role play on stages throughout our country his birth. It's a wonderful season for all...

So the Santa Clause issue is mute.....knit picking about it is a waste of time and effort for the truth of Christmas as Christ's Birth remains central for Christians.

Christ is central to Christmas and why the Holiday is Celebrated by Christians...
