Things about "Santa Claus"

So to tell the truth....

I HATE the story of Santa. I think it's stupid.

A man giving presents to good children all over the world in one night.

yea right.

So here's my problem with it...

Story time:

A missionary served his mission in the Philippines where a little girl asked the Elder, "Elder is Santa real?" and the Elder said "Of course, Santa is real." and the little girl's heartbreaking response to what this Elder told her was...

"Then why doesn't he come to the Philippines?"

That is my problem with "Santa".

Are all the children in the Philippines "naughty"? NO. The most well behaved kids I have ever met were in the Philippines.

Seriously?? Santa Claus, Where do you go on Christmas Eve? hmmmm... This myth of Santa Claus is made so your children behave. hmmmm..... makes you think a little huh. Santa was made up by rich people who can afford him.

Now kids are obsessed with getting presents and totally forget what the celebration of Christmas is really about.

So what is Christmas?

2010 years ago the Son of God was born. To be the Savior of the world. That's what Christmas is about. He gave the best gift of all, he gave us the atonement.

We should all keep that in mind.
