To me Santa Claus could be any one of these things, depending on my mood:
- A tradition originating way-back-when in some other country, passed on from family to family during childhood for a shared cultural experience
- An abomination to God and a corruption of Jesus's Birth
- The natural result of capitalism on a non-birthday gift-giving occasion
- A conspiracy by the rich elite to further squeeze the life blood (money) from the poor through emotional manipulation - Feel guilty for not buying gifts, show your love for others by buying gifts, buy cards to stay in the wills of old relatives
- An indoctrination of children for one of the following purposes:
- To binge on greed and materialism
- To cause their minds to grow comfortable in believing in something while completely rejecting all evidence to the contrary
- To teach them that their parents are fallible and deceitful, weakening familial bonds
- A romping good time.
