When I found out Santa was real it didn’t even occur to me that Jesus might not

I was always taught Jesus birth was the real reason for Christmas. Santa was extra.

Finding out Santa wasn’t real made the rest make sense. It’s just all about Jesus.

I don't know. I don't like Santa personally, I find aspects of the tradition to be a bit weird.

I don't have a dog in this fight anymore. My kids are all grown up to the point where it isn't an issue.
