Y'all are missing the boat on "Santa Claus." He is not-yet-another fantastical "white dude" like Jesus who gets monetized by whatever capitalist faction is pushing that form of propaganda. Santa Claus, just like Jesus, is a belief. A belief in something pure, something joyful. Something to be given, something more than just ourselves.
If Santa Claus was a religion, I would absolutely join. But yea, I absolutely 10000% believe in Santa Claus and all the magic of creating smiles and happiness as much as possible. The season of giving instead of receiving. I know it's real, just like I know love is real, because of the feeling I get watching it unfold. Its my happiest time of year and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Dont let anybody or anything take that from you and your family.
Im all in on Santa Claus. I do worry too many people out there allow corporate America to define Santa Claus for them. Just like too many Churches think they own the only definition of "The Holy Spirit" and "Jesus Christ".
