   IT'S TIME

   Reminder: Santa is the antichrist.
   
   He's positioned as a direct replacement to Jesus. He bears witness to all your behavior and makes moral judgements and rewards/punishes you accordingly.
   The morals you're held to aren't Christian morals though, it's "current year" secular morals like being generally kind and not doing a racism. Instead of being a lifelong commitment to a higher power, you maybe reflect on your behavior for a week or two. Instead of the eternal reward of heaven, you get material crap you don't need manufactured in China. Instead of damnation, there's a vague threat of being denied material goods that doesn't actually manifest because your parents don't want to be mean. Jesus is supernatural and real, Santa is fiction and you are expected to discard it by a certain age. It's a gateway drug to materialism and atheism.
   
   Santa is not positioned next to Jesus but as an infinitely more visible alternative to the point that Jesus isn't required for His own holiday. Santa is fluid and progressive, changing with the times and culture to be black or gay or evil capitalist as the jews who actually own and control the Santa character require to poison the minds of kids.
   
   Santa is unrelated to Christmas. Christmas is about the Messiah who already gave you the only gift you need and He DIED to do it. Santa is an avatar for the secular Present Day, where you exchange presents for no purpose other than you've been told this is the time of year to go in debt supporting big box retailers and your slave driver boss has allotted you time off to do it.
   
   I'm not an ironic Santa believer or respecter because he exists as a jewish corruption of my actual guiding beliefs and I don't make excuses just because being a kid was fun.

     @Platinum I’m gonna give it with a wink, I like that tradition of “if you stop believing, he stops coming”. I don’t mind the kids learning how to take part and pretend in a mass white lie to make everyone feel better. They (if I pick the proper woman) should be smart enough to understand

     @Platinum Defers the idea that mom and dad can, whenever they want, provide a whole bunch of presents. Having the pretend santa allows you to shove some of the pretend blame on him instead so they don’t say “well you bought X without complaint in december, why can’t you do Y in june?!?!”
