Still Waters Posted December 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The notion of a man who flies around the world in a vehicle drawn by flying hoofed mammals, entering people's homes through their chimneys and delivering presents, all within the span of a single night, is highly improbable, to say the least. Yet the Santa Claus myth is a long-standing and powerful tradition for many families, and may reinforce good values. http://www.livescien...s-healthy.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted December 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Its healthy for the businesses. wonder how much they paid for this bit of advertising? Its only healthy if the parents can afford to get the presents the kids want without having a heart attack over the costs. Those traditional beliefs have been over-run by greed and debts.

Crabby Kitten Posted December 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Great article and interesting ideas. I think the whole subject as well as the debate about Santa is healthy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy Demon Posted December 21, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2013 If it is so "healthy" then why do we discourage their beliefs and it turn demand that they adopt other beliefs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
