(when i put together that "made in taiwan" or "made in china" (seen on gifts allegedly from santa) didn't mesh with the "made in the north pole" stories we were led to believe.<br /><br />i was told and believed The Truth growing up and while i also believed for a short time that santa existed, i do not recall ever thinking of santa as a stand-in for Christ. nor did i ever equate or relate the truth about santa with a belief that Jesus was also make believe. <br /><br />santa was just another cool guy/gal out there - like the easter bunny and tooth fairy - that did stuff for other people out of love and goodwill. his existence (or "existence") didn't make Jesus's any less important or real.julia :: the long long swinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925329919226599605noreply@blogger.com
