Why do we teach our children about Santa Claus?
Because its a quaint tradition and harmless.
That's different than teaching your kids that Christmas is only about getting heaps of presents.
Besides, everyone knows the Christmas holidays are about the World Junior Hockey Tournament, watching Dr. Zhivago on a cold, wintery day, tolerating relatives you normally wouldn't give the time of day to, sore feet from endless mall-walking, Visa bills in January, year-end programs on TV and . . . . . . laying on the floor after a big Christmas meal then getting heartburn from leftovers in the next five or so days.
