The Father of Lies:
June of 2011

We have heard that we are to avoid celebrating paganism, though we are upright as the palm tree in our faith, most of us are guilty of practicing a pagan ritual for the children, I have no intention of taking the fun out of any holiday, but we all know deep down that it is a lie as to what children believe, when they believe in the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy which is just downright paganism with no Christian roots excluding Easter and Christmas of course, if you seriously consider it you know that the practice is sinful and should be avoided.

Now just as God loves the sinner and hates the sin, do you not think that he also loves the holidays and the giving, but hates the lies in making one believe that there is a Tooth Fairy, Easter bunny, or Santa Claus when there is not, but our selves playing the part.

When I was twelve years old I got into a fight with a friend after he told me that there was no such thing as Santa Claus, I thought to myself that my Parents would never lie to me about such a thing, lesson learned you can’t trust anyone!.. It would have been best if I was raised to honor St. Nicholas and remember the spirit of Christmas through what he started.
