One of the writer\u2019s of the Sun (Francis Pharcellus Church) reluctantly wrote a response in an article which arguably became the most reprinted newspaper article in the English language.<br><br>If you aren\u2019t familiar with the story, Church\u2019s response was a poignant explanation about how much better off the world is because of Santa Claus. The article pulled the heartstrings of many. It inspired songs, books and plays. It&#8217;s become a fixture in Christmas folklore.<br><br>But let\u2019s face it; beautifully melodramatic as this literary masterpiece may be, it was\/is still a lie. A lie that adults conspired to keep secret from the children \u2026 the ultimate fake news of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century &#8212; which is carried on till today along with the Easter Bunny and his Easter Eggs.<br><br>I grew up believing in Santa Claus. I loved the double presents (one from my parents and one from Santa). I wanted to believe this bearded overweight man in a red suit miraculously entered our house (that didn&#8217;t even have a chimney) and left us presents in our stockings. It sounded preposterous but my parents said it was true. So I was crushed when they admitted they told a lie. I never trusted them completely after that.<br><br>My wife and I decided to tell the truth to our kids &#8212;\u00a0 &#8220;enjoy the reindeer, the snowmen, the jolly old man BUT the season was about the birth of Christ.&#8221; In Christ\u2019s downgrade from God to man, God paid it forward with the wonderful gift of His only son in the little town of Bethlehem over 2 thousand years ago.<br><br>Sorry Virginia. They lied. Christmas should not be one big commercial excuse. Christmas is about rejoicing because God kept his promise of a savior &#8212; Christ the Lord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap has-medium-font-size\">Of course, this is just me. I&#8217;m not here to impose my beliefs on you. In retrospect, I think my parents should have told me the truth about Santa when I started asking questions.<br><br>Christmas is 2 more weeks from now.
