Anglo-Saxon pagan traditions?

Germany

I lived in a tiny town of about 100 people when I was a wee kid and our town Santa was someone who couldn't speak, because all the kids would have recognized his very distinctive voice and known that the jig was up. For some reason, Silent Santa was very scary to me when I was four.

in my part of Germany there is no Santa.

Nikolaus comes on Dec 6
and the sweet invisible Christkindl on Dec 24

And I'm talking about from a child's perspective btw lol but anyways, I started thinking about this because of the fact that children everywhere are starting to get excited that the Easter Bunny will be hopping into town soon so good old Sandy needs to step aside and move over for now! Anyways, when I was younger I enjoyed receiving visits from old Saint Nick and the Bunny, (as well as the Tooth Fairy of course!! ) but my parents would never take me to the mall to see the Easter Bunny because they thought that he looked scary looking.



I don't know, I guess it all depends on your perspective and what kind of bunny costume they're in, but I actually think that Santa Claus is scarier because now that I'm an adult he sounds like a stalker. XD He knows when you're sleeping or when you're awake and if you aren't good he leaves coal in your stocking. At least the Easter Bunny will leave things for you no matter what. And looking down at the picture below he looks pretty cute.

A little humor on a Friday afternoon is nice. Santa is a pretty expensive date.

our German Christkindl is invisible.
not expensive

Santa claus and the easter bunny were both declassified in our house. We didnt believe in raising our kids on false fables. Upon age 5 the party was over for these two myths so once they got school age they knew their peers beliefs were based on silliness.

Yes. We'll celebrate St. Nicolas day on Dec. 7 (for the first time in my church) and the children will be asked to bring a shoe and leave it in our Parish hall, as they attend Mass with their parents. Then I'm guessing they'll find a surprise in their shoe, after Mass.

Such fun!

Santa Claus, the character who sprung from from Saint Nicholas, is a very good example of generosity. Saint Nicholas supposedly saved poor young women from a life of prostitution.

I chose to NOT teach my own kids these myths and my kids my right. I remember telling my kids kindergarten teacher that we dont buy into that so she was good and didnt discuss it with her class.

I never thought of this, but now I am looking over my shoulder.

Perhaps in your house yes. In mine nope. We dodnt include that in our own traditions over societys traditions.

An old man obsessed with getting kids to sit on his lap is straight up creepy.

But then a rabbit laying eggs is pretty fucked up too.
