When we tell children that Santa will distribute presents based on how "good" or "bad" they are, then the kids witness that presents are distributed based on which economic situation they happen to have been born into, what are we really teaching kids about "good" and "bad".

They are learning the lesson their parents already know. It's not good vs. bad, democrat vs. republican; rather poor vs. rich.

I have thought about this a lot but unfortunately only since my kids have grown. If I had to do it over again I would take the approach of a family I met a few years ago - they did the origin Saint Nick story and then told the kids that all the adults pretend to be Santa to honour the original. I liked that. It kept the Santa fun but without the pretending and without the implied judgement when rich kids get more stuff.

It is high time to ban Black cars, Christmas towns, gatherings of people, so that everyone can admire mosques and Muslims with their behinds exposed. byteseu.com/580567/ #Lietuva #LietuvosRespublika #Lithuania #RepublicOfLithuania
