“You shall not lie to one another.”
*** Transcript
Growing up, my parents, never did the Santa thing.
So after my wife and I were married and had our first child, we needed to make the decision whether or not we would adopt the Santa Claus tradition in our family. Like most parents, we’d do just about anything to bring joy, awe and amazement into the lives of our little ones. After all, what harm could it do?
But here’s the deal, in order for our children believe in Santa Claus, they would have to believe that Santa Claus, lives in the North Pole, for that least the last 1000 years. So Santa is, Eternal. He delivers gifts to all the children in the world on December 24th. So Santa is, near Omnipresent. He knows every child by name, and he knows whether they have been, Naughty or Nice. So Santa is, All-knowing. And he himself, must be Fully Good. Lastly, Santa enables his Reindeer to fly. So he must be, All-powerful.
Those are just a few examples of what our kids would need to believe. As it turns out, Santa Claus, is not just a single little white lie, it is one lie after another. And the more questions our kids would inevitably ask, the more lies we would need to tell them, to maintain the first.
Obviously, the Bible is clear when it comes to lies: “You shall not lie to one another.” So, while the Santa tradition is cute, the boldfaced lies we would have to tell our kids year after year make it a tradition we couldn’t adopt.
But as it turns out, even Without Santa, the joy, awe, and amazement of Christmas isn’t lost, instead it’s focused on the one who is Eternal, Omnipresent, All-knowing, Fully Good, and All-powerful, our Savior who’s birth and love we celebrate as a family.
For us, Jesus really is the reason for the season.
