"He sees you when you're sleeping; he know's when you're awake; he knows when you've been bad or good."... gee, that sound like the God you say you believe in.
You can't be serious?
Students can make distinction between Santa Claus, and that of the birth of the Christ child in a manger.
They don't mix the two up.
The teaching of Santa is not religion. Santa is a cultural icon, and therefore we continue to teach about the culture the students are immersed in.
I can't believe I am having to argue this point.

Oh yes they do, my friend. I just heard the story of a man who, when he was young, was told finally that his parents lied to himn about there being a Santa Claus. The then-boy replied, "Dad, when are you going to tell me Jesus isn't real also"?
