never thought about it like this but she has a great point. 3. Santa is a type of god. Some of my readers might be rolling their eyes. But think about it. He is omnipotent (all powerful - makes toys, rides a magical sleigh, goes up and down chimneys). He is omnipresent (everywhere at once - how else could he deliver the presents?). He is omniscient (all knowing - he knows who is bad and who is good). He is eternal. He is perfect. He is the whole package. I cant think of another mythical creature that encapsulates so many characteristics reserved for God alone. When we describe God to our kids I dont want them thinking, Oh yeah, kind of like Santa. No. God is not like anybody. We want to keep it that way.
