I don't think too many of the parents in my parish tell their children about Santa Claus. I think they do tell them about Saint Nicholas, and we will have St. Nicholas Day, where the young ones will get surprises in their shoes.

A few weeks ago, we had an inch or two of snow, and the sweet little three year old who sits in the pew in front of me was wondering if Santa had brought her a present.

Her great grandparents who sit next to me are quite devout.

yes, and his day is December 6

So he brings gifts?

.

He started sharing his family's wealth with poor families so their daughters could afford dowries, so they didn't have to resort to prostitution.

Pretty decent guy.

"One story tells of a poor man with three daughters. In those days a young woman's father had to offer prospective husbands something of value—a dowry. The larger the dowry, the better the chance that a young woman would find a good husband. Without a dowry, a woman was unlikely to marry. This poor man's daughters, without dowries, were therefore destined to be sold into slavery. Mysteriously, on three different occasions, a bag of gold appeared in their home-providing the needed dowries."

I get the history of it, but the OP seemed to be discussing contemporary Santa Claus and gift giving. As in, is it okay to tell your kids that gifts come from Santa Claus and not from the parents. Seems to be an age old questions and a question that causes some parents to hand wring.

Okay???

Go ahead and tell the small children that Santa brings gifts. The reason for this fiction is so that they won't be bugging their parents for the gifts, and if they don't get exactly what they want they won't blame it on their parents.

When they are old enough to question the Jesus stuff vs Santa stuff, they are old enough to be told the truth.

Not sure about that. Sounds like a lie of convenience. I dislike it when parents do that.

 

[otto105]

or is that a lie and a sin?

i hope not

They should be told the truth that jesus never existed and christmas is a pagen celebration of the the winter solecist.

Those “christian” parents however should believe the lie of $2,000 tariff taxation rebates and a future of no income taxes while being fiscally responsible.

 

[Mr Natural]

I suppose Santa is as believable as any of the other characters were supposed to believe in.

 

[Calgon]

Even diehard atheists believe Jesus existed.
