Halt to San Jose kindergartners’ Santa visit angers parents

52. No, he most certainly DOES NOT

Christmas is about the birth of the Christ. All of this Santa nonsense is just that, nonsense. It is and can be fun to give and receive gifts. It is also a great time of year to remember others and not be so damned self-centered (cough, cough). To call Santa a religious figure is fucking ridiculous. La Befana in italian folklore is more religious.

Honestly, sometimes I don't get it. We were Catholic and could not eat meat on Fridays. So we didn't. The school had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the Catholic kids. We did not throw a fit. We accepted what is and dealt with it. It is not a conspiracy, its not the end of the world. Most of the school was NOT Catholic. They ate hamburgers. LIFE IS NOT FAIR. Learn the lesson young and get used to it.

Furthermore, I would be more than happy to send my kids to a Passover to see what it was about. It is actually a good thing that they learn others are different and they have to accept it as part of life. Plus learning other cultures is cool.
