You only get unwavering trust from your children for a very short while before they start to question you. I left Christianity in 1975, so the Jesus vs Santa argument is of intellectual interest, not personal. It was also referenced in the Season Six Christmas special: " Red Sleigh Down", wherein the middle of the episode the four boys say "Jesus!
The issue that is more relevant is have I done as much as I can to be good neighbor to all the angels I come in contact with! Jesus story is full of more wonder, love, hope, and all the things that are truly “magical” mysterious and fun… and most of all true, worthwhile, and encouraging. Once you understand the deliberate way in which the myth of Santa Claus was created to be a direct counterfeit of Jesus Christ, you can see that children can be easily led spiritually astray by believing in, and participating in, this story. The movie also contains elements that would re-occur in the series, like Kyle being Jewish, and rats eating Kenny's corpse.Surely giving up Santa and being different from those around us is a good way to shine and be different.
Perhaps Santa gives gifts because he is kind and generous, but likes to give extra rewards to those who their best to do good. Clearly, you can see that someone deliberately created a Secular counterfeit to Jesus Christ, matching the many attributes of Jesus Christ with Santa Claus! One year we asked all our family to contribute towards Disneyland tickets instead of sending physical presents. In the South Park episode "A Very Crappy Christmas" the boys make the same Spirit Of Christmas short.Saint Nicolas Day is the 6th of December, when children should put their shoes out for Candy, if they've been good, or Coal, as a warning of Krampus.
So I need a little advice here… my daughter is 2,5 yo and she doesn’t know about how real or not Santa is. K., speaking through Alice Bailey, defines Sanat Kumara as the “life and informing intelligence upon and within our planet. But simply the idea of Santa and Jesus fighting it out at a Mall to decide who Christmas is really about is something worth watching. I not only don’t see any demonstrable evidence of any god, even yours, I don’t see any factual evidence of Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, Fairies, Leprechauns etc, and I suspect you don’t either.TGCA exists to encourage and assist Australian Christians to remain convinced of the truth and power of the gospel, to commend and contend for the gospel in our lives and our ministries, and to foster connections between individuals, churches, and other ministries so that we can most effectively advance the gospel in Australia. We must keep him as something far more mysterious, magical and wonderful and resist all the forces that seek to make him common and vulgar.
Certainly, children are told to come to the wrong source for their gifts, they are encouraged to right behavior throughout the year for the wrong reasons, and they are taught to love material things rather than, and more than, God. Nicholas’ life is rich with anecdotes, highlighting his generosity and exemplary devotion toward God.I don't know what train stop you left your brains at, but I think you need to retrace your steps and go back to find them, or sew shut your mouth and open your ears! Because despite it being his birthday, Jesus sure takes a noticeable backseat to a host of other things children see in December: festive decorations, bright light displays, and Christmas trees. We are completely free to choose whether to include Santa in our Christmas traditions, but our main priority should not be prancing around declaring our freedom nor judging those who think differently from us.
