Why Santa Claus, Father Xmas, St Nicolas, etc?

December 4th, 2016
When my mother was a kid, it was Jesus himself who was bringing her the gifts on his birthday. In my father’s northern France it was St Nicolas. And I get that Santa is just a modern, non-religious version of all that. But why do we feel the need to perpetuate that tradition? It takes some lying to kids, which is supposed to be bad and we teach them kids not to lie…
Don’t get me wrong, i love the tradition too, but i don’t know why i love it and why i enforce it, like everybody else.
