Santa Claus and the practice of Christmas itself is a great boost to the economy. Hell, working a seasonal job which was made possible by the buying rush during the holidays made it possible for me to get my first car which enabled me to get a better job which is enabling me to go to college so I can get a career and not have to collect financial aid checks from the government paid for by your taxpayers and I can, instead, contribute more money back into the system.
It may be a loss for kids from poorer families but it is ensuring that my future children won't have to wake up on Christmas wondering why Santa didn't bring them any presents, which, in my buying of those presents, will, in turn, fuel the economy so another stupid, unskilled teenager like I was have the oppurtunity to economically advance. Merry Chri$tmas.
There ain't shit I can do for the kids in Africa. Every present you donate will likely be blown up with them by the shitty governments or terrorist factions that run their impoverished countries. I'm as compassionate as the next person, but we're in way over are heads in our involvement with those countries =/ And here is I... talking about over-thinking...
Tis all true but i think lying to kids is wrong. I will definitely tell my children the truth about santa. When they ask who the fat man in the red coat is.
That's fine with me, but I'd be careful with that if you plan on sending your children to school with other children.
If you're kids are walking around saying that "Santa Clause isn't real", you might have a real problem on your hands if they start telling other kids this. Parents are really touchy about keeping their child's "innocence" and "childhood" in tact.
Santa Clause is a lie that needs to be put to an end!

I know i know i would make sure to warn them about that. Rather then lying to them.
Why did someone vote this down? I liked your over-thinking comment :)
