That's my point - it's a Christian celebration that has lost its meaning in the name of commercialism.

it was pagan.

It was originally meant to celebrate the winter solstice, but it was christianized, just like Easter.

 He only made wooded toys, and passed them out through  the village , not all that glorification that came from a tale

this is true.  but what i said is true also.  the father didn't want his child to have toys.  i forget the reason.

I think its much worse to indoctrinate children to their parents religion than have santa come to visit once a year..

no what's worse is to have public schools dedicated to indoctrinating children that there is no god.  just because you don't believe in god, gives you no right to force your belief on children.  whether there is a god is between the child and their parents.  keep your nose out of it except for your children.

..Yet we as adults fool ourselves every four years thinking our democratic process is 'real', thinking 'this time it will be different'.. More and more of thesame adults accept, even expect their candidate to lie, because 'thats what you do to win in politics'.

It WAS different this year. Not all in a good way.... :P

I think most kids become bright enough to figure out that their parents were sharing these mythical beings with them ... For the fun of it.    Not telling them malicious LIES to purposely cause them harm so great  as to never recover from the terrible trauma  and cause them to Never believe a word they say for the rest of their lives!

And besides, i saw the Easter Bunny lay an egg once.

I dont know what schools you refer too. 
But where I come from we had a subject called religious knowledge..
The school taught us of all the major religions.. The way they taught us about it all was as a history lesson.
They never told us any of it was true or not..

I remember a classmate asking the teacher if there is a god.
She answered politely:
I dont know I have never met one and what I believe doesnt matter its up to you to find that out for yourself.
In my opinion it was the best answer she could give.

I remember when I was 10 or something asking my parents if there was a god they both said that they didnt know.
And they wouldnt even tell me what they believed because they did not want that to affect my view..
I had to find out for myself..

You said:
whether there is a god is between the child and their parents

I say NO its not.... Its only for the child to find out..
If the parent talks about any god or any religion they affect the child.
