That's pretty much what my book talks about... the HISTORICAL man named Nicolas, who was a Christian around the year 300 AD. He made a habit of secretly giving gifts in honor of his faith in Jesus, and the Catholic Church later canonized him. So we carry on the tradition of secretly giving gifts as an example from his life. But, the REAL historical Nicolas is dead, and we read this in the story. The kids didn't get that part at first, but we read it every year, and as they have matured, they understood. We have the advantage of always having told them the truth, and they get to enjoy the fun & mystery of "Santa Claus."
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!

Maybe I have just spent too much time with preschoolers, but I didn't understand the question, either.

I responded long before you did and unlike your post, mine was legible.
Ain't I a sweety? HEH HEH
I always did, and then I would explain why I still think Santa Clause is real. Far more real that the Trinity.I've always thought that this was a particularly weird part of our culture. Same goes with the Easter Bunny.
Who else is as much a Bush-basher as I???

This guy.
nothing is wrong with little kids thinking that there is a Santa Claus and easter bunny. there is a time though when um...'reality' should kick in and if the kid breaks down and goes nutzoid cause a fat man that watches him all of the time ain't real...then i think there might be something a little deeper that needs looked into.
and Psycoblues...that didn't make sense, and Jack thompson did blame it on that. he blames everything on video games.

That's not the part I don't buy.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Cool. Just pointing out that there actually was a St Nicholas from which Santa Claus was derived.That's not the part I don't buy.
