Although now that I think of it, the original author could perhaps have had a better ploy if he would have written an essay about the commercialism/mercantilism which has flooded the U.S. nationwide to an extent which can no longer to be considered fun anymore. Whereby people are sinking into depts further and further anually, as they're still paying for the debts they incurred from buying Christmas presents during the previous season. I for myself detest Christmas and all the hollowness it has come to represent. However, underneath tons and tons of commercials and the accompanying guilt they try force upon me, it just glances off, as it's merely a matter of how you deal with things. Me? I just bake a cake for my parents and my wife and I cook up something special in the kitchen. Afterwards, the two of us just jump in the sack for some really good xxx and leave christmas as it is. Just my two cents. As for the rest: let everyone celebrate (or not) in the way they choose. Banning things on whichever ground creates a misguided protectionist mentality.

Like did he scare you or something? My GOD people!!! There are a lot of problems in this world, and we're here talking about Santa being "immoral" and needs to be banned? ISIS, income inequality, health reform, gun control, and dumbass foreign policy decisions take a seat cause we gotta ban Santa! Get a fucking life!!! Damn people.

Fuck it, I want to debate with Harbinger!Or you could stop using dishonourable tactics like social shaming, mockery, and conspiratorial accusations against individuals you don't agree with.
Or you could, I dunno, actually debate like the rest of us instead of using the "I'm begin attacked because I can't properly source my bullshit claims" routine, a routine that ends in the destruction of the practitioner's credibility. Then again, I did just take a gigantic leap in logic and say that IM followers/alt accounts have credibility to begin with.

Phasing it out would simply take too long at ending something that should already be done away with. Encouraging parents not to do it may result in some or perhaps many ceasing to partake in it, but I suspect the vast majority would persist. There aren't many options other than bans and enacting anti-Santa regulations.

If we're going to ban Santa, we might as well ban all other holiday figures. The Easter Bunny, Uncle Sam, and all those Halloween monsters.

Originally, Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus in the Earth. Many things were added to Christmas after that.

Originally, Christmas was the celebration of the passing of the winter solstice. Elements like Santa (albeit in a different form) originate from back then.Jesus was a later addition.
