David Grisham:
How unbelievably short sighted of you. I suspect you permanently drive more people away from religion with these stunts, way to be short sighted. That stunt will drive em' away early. Ask Jerry Prevo how to lure kids, he's an expert. From a social standpoint, it is not your place to decide how others' families should conduct themselves. From a religious standpoint, you can't tell a stranger they are wrong without first passing judgement on their actions. FYI, Christmas is more in line with the pagan holiday Yule, not Jesus' Birthday. (They estimate to be late November)

Santa is an abstract idea manifest as a person. Santa is the Spirit of giving, sharing and family. This concept doesn't have to be contrary to Christianity.

Merry X-mas
