I was having a good time somewhere in my city yesterday when i passed by a establishment fully adorned with Christmas decor. I overheard a female teenager spoke about Christmas and Santa Claus. "Santa Claus is Satan," she said. She elaborated that when she was still small her father told her that Santa Claus is Satan because when you rearranged the word 'santa' it can be 'satan.' Some kids grew up a prejudice because their parents instilled in them dangerous and totally discriminating notions on certain things. Santa Claus is personified as someone who is generous, patient, hardworking, child-friendly character. In my place where tanned race dwells, a foreign looking dressed-up Santa, shaking hands, giving kids candies and saying HO-HO-HO is something little children love and respected by adults. How come this 'Santa Claus' is a satan? The world tries to build a community of kindness and unity but if this backward culture of prejudicism goes on and on, our efforts to bring peace on earth will tumble and crumble. For the teenager: may you live up to the name of what you claimed. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
When I was young, I always expecting gifts from santa during christmas. I was looking at the sky and waiting for him in midnight.. Now Its really funny.. lol. Happy xmas cleo..
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Naresh! same here..when we were kids we tend to do that..we expect for gifts..from Santa himself. But, now that we are already grown ups, we become SANTAs to other kids.
