My wife and I had a big talk on this last night. We have three kids - all who currently believe.

We were at the company Christmas party last night and there was talk about people who wanted Christmas to be all about Jesus of all things! They take this to the point of telling their poor kids that Santa is not real.

BIG MISTAKE.

Santa is the myth of infinite possibility. Kids can ask Santa for anything because it is magic and the elves make it. Therefore, my boy can ask for a X28-thc Robot Missle command that he knows his folks will never be able to or agree with buying. Translate forward, America is a place where we are able to see that we can (occasionally) achieve fantastic things. The myth of infinite possibility allows us to not be limited by structure, but only limited by our imagination.

Mind you I came up with this after a few glasses o' wine last night, but I like it.

Santa is the American dream personified.
