[Guest wardpossy]

I have a Christian website for women, Young and old and have posted a page where You or your child can write to Santa And Santa will reply with an email letter and it is free, I wanted to make Life easier for the families who cant afford paying $10 dollars to do it, Also it is an awesome site, Please look at it and let me know what you think, Please feel free to pass it on to friends and family, I pray that you will find the time to go to it.

Ward, encouraging Santa letters is not a good idea IMO. Christmas isn't about the guy in the red suit. Encouraging children to believe in Santa is an out and out deception. Some regard it as harmless, but I for one prefer to teach my children the truth about Christmas.

I'm not chewing you out, just not encouraging a promotion of Santa in Christ-mas.

Awwww........that's sweet. Nice job on the website too.

Santa letters are $10.00 now??? Holy cow, prices sure have risen since mine were little enough for that!

Oh, puhleeeez!!!!! Next you'll be saying we shouldn't letting kids watch Popeye-that thing of eating spinach is a myth you know!

Honestly, this wasn't in controversial issues, wasn't opened up to encourage discussion regarding believing in Santa Claus and if you disagree with the OP's thoughts, DON'T POST!!!!

I grew up hearing about Santa and I turned out alright! I'm actually going to wait up and see if he comes down my chimney!

[Can Do (Phil 4:13)]

I grew up not being lied to about Santa and I grew up fine too.

Let me relate something that happened with my son to you.

When he was in kindtergarten some of the other children were talking about Santa Claus.  My son said there was no Santa,  that Christmas was about the birth of Christ.  The other kids argued with him and said they knew there was a Santa because their parents had told them so.

My son being young and lacking in tact because he was 5 told them that their parents had lied to them, because there is no Santa..Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas.

He told me that those children responded by saying that their parents would never lie to them.

I have often felt bad for those children because I know that the day came that they realized that their parents had indeed lied to them.  I wonder how they felt if they remembered the conversation they had with my son in which they said their parents would never lie to them.

I thank the Lord I grew up in a household where Christ was taught, and that my son was sure enough of who Christ was at the age of 5 to proclaim Jesus Christ though he was alone among many children who were opposing him and calling him a liar.  He stood up for the truth like a child of God should.

AAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is 100% the way that my husband I both feel about this. I applaud the parents and family of those who are willing to stand against this and other ridiculous accessorising of Christ-mas.

Ronald, I was lovingly (I hope) encouraging Ward to see the TRUE meaning of Christmas. If you don't agree that JESUS is the reason for the season Popeye has nothing to do with it and as Katy said, there is harm in finding out that parents lie about something that is made such a fuss of during the lead up to Christ-mas. Quite incidentally, I was talking to a woman today, who was proclaiming herself a pagan...even she was quote, 'Devasated' to find out SC wasn't real.

How the Santa Myth is designed to be a Counterfeit Christ

Santa has White Hair

Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Santa wears Red Apparel

Isaiah 63

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

Santa is from the North

Psalms 48

2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Santa Comes like a theif in the night.

2 Pet 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Santa Knows all..if you've been bad or good.

Hebrews 4

13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Santa is the Giver of Gifts

Ephesians 4

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Children approach Santas' throne asking for gifts.

Hebrews 4

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Santa Tells children to come to him

Mark 10

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Santa says HO HO HO

Zechariah 2

6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

I pray that we are all teaching our children who to believe in.. so that they are depending on Our Savior this holiday season instead of a counterfeit.

2 Tim 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I think you are grasping at straws, but I will respect your decision for your family, we all see things diffrently and as you see, on my site its not front page, its for the other 75%, remember this helps draw the unsaved to my site as well and while they are their to get a free santa letter they begin to look around and ... presto I have just witnessed to the unsaved. Have a wonderful holiday season to all

Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Since I have 2 grown children I can testify that following this verse works.

A poem by Robert W. Service:

The Sceptic

My Father Christmas passed away

When I was barely seven.

At twenty-one, alack-a-day,

I lost my hope of heaven.

Yet not in either lies the curse:

The hell of it's because

I don't know which loss hurt the worse --

My God or Santa Claus
