Fun is one thing. Belief is quit another.

Santa not real? I had actually gotten to that point until one year I awoke at 2:00 am to hear sleigh bells, and hoofs on my roof. I was 22 years old. Being a skeptic I went to tell my parents to knock it off only to discover that they were both sound asleep.

And believe me when I tell you they weren’t ‘faking’ it either. My Dad bless his heart can be a jerk when woken suddenly, and boy was he ticked off!

Santa not real? Of course he is. Christians just have another word for him and that is God, who gave us the best present we could ever have gotten...his Son, Jesus Christ.

If you're saying that Santa will undermine "belief" in God, I would say that this is an example of a very weak faith.

My 10 year old possibly knows about Santa by now, certainly he has an inkling and he's not a "nut case". My kids are pretty easy going and they won't think that thier entire life has been a lie, nor that their mother and I are living some kind of secret double-life.

God bless and, seriously, have a very Merry Christmas!

Thank you. I know where my Christmas blessing come from.

And if you think my comments were cruel, it’s nothing compared to what a bunch of 10 year old boys can do to classmate who insists Santa Claus is real. Seriously, tell your son to keep it to himself.
