Holiday Jeer

Is the story of Santa Claus really necessary? Isn’t the tooth fairy just a glorified fictional burglar? Home invasion concerns aside, I think children can have a healthy upbringing without believing in a corpulent fellow that delivers presents and is the subject of two horrible sequels starring Tim Allen. Find out why. (By the way, remember when I joked about adult themes? This probably isn’t suitable for kids…at least ones that still believe in cookie-eating, sleigh-driving chimney travelers.)

  1. A classic debate that is well-served by your blog entry. I liked the candy discussion of course, always a treat :) I suspect the Christmas myth is really more for the parents and family than it is for the children. Parents enjoy watching their kids react to Christmas.

    On a side note…you need to get in touch with the RIAA to learn how to completely dominate your musicians into submission.

    Finally, I would like to throw the topic of sports scandals into the mix for a future podcast. Between the patriots cheating, barry bonds and his steriods entarage, and the NBA is well, the NBA…there is plenty of material for a scathing commentary.

  2. Gee, one’s birthday being about everyone else? I wonder what THAT’S like.
    PS- my birthday is December 25, too. I feel for ya, Jesus.
