Is Santa real—or not?

It’s what makes the Christmas season for a lot of people. There are Christians and non-Christians alike who talk about Santa Claus. Now, I’m NOT here to tell you whether it’s right or wrong to believe in Santa. Frankly, it’s up to you. But I will take a stand and say whatever your thoughts are on Santa, if you reject the Christ of Christmas, you really can’t celebrate Christmas. Many parents have been asking me emphatically to make sure that I stress Christ is the reason for the season. The question is, what are we doing to keep Christ alive in a culture that denies Christ? I saw a post the other day from an atheist that said, “Make Christmas great again—skip church.” Seriously? Without Christ, there is no Christmas.
