I hope that most kids, by the time they are taking notice of how much some other family’s kid got at Christmas, have learned that Santa is an attitude more than he is a person.
The whole Santa thing just reinforces the rich-poor divide. If Santa only brings nice things to good kids, then only rich kids are really the good ones…. which is a lesson many rich kids internalize.
That soccer ball can provide a lot of good exercise, which should lead to good health. That snowmobile can lead to wrecks that aren’t so good for one’s health…

I’m not so sure about that. A lot of them maybe less naughty, but a lot of them are stuck up snobs.

Bull. They just bribe Santa to overlook their naughtiness.

I disagree! The more they have the worse their behavior unless their parents teach them the value of the dollar and to work for what they get….

Check out that Kinks song ‘Father Christmas’ for a class divided holiday.

better to learn now that life’s unfair, that santa is just amarketing tool. Might give him the incentive to get outof that shed.

When did Santa become a Trump?

That’s as much B.S. as saying Trump won the election! (…And let the games BEGIN!!!)

And judging from TV car commercials, rich adults must be nicer too. (I hate those commercials)

Thanks for clearing that up, conservative Santa. I guess rich people also work hundreds or thousands of times harder than poor people, too.
